I love Mark 4:22. It says, “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.” This is such great news. There is nothing that we have buried and forgotten that He does not know.

We are created to glorify the Lord. Isaiah 43:7. We glorify Him by bearing much fruit. John 15:8. Unresolved issues contaminate our heart’s soil, allowing weed seeds to propagate. When a garden is first planted, weed seeds germinate quicker than fruit bearing seeds.

The Holy Spirit taught me years ago to pay attention to my over-reactions. They indicated that something was hidden. In my first book, Freedom! From Past Hurts, there is a chapter called Concealed Rage. Have you ever spouted off in anger? Have you ever had tears well up for seemingly no reason? Likely they were self-protective reactions because something hidden was exposed.
