Secret Sins

Psalm 90:8

You have set our iniquities before You,
 Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.

Thoughts 

. The most simple rule for good prayer is honesty and humility.  One can never go wrong with those two.  Talk honestly to God.  Don’t give God the self you think you’re supposed to be.  Give God yourself in your nakedness, who you really are, even if that means giving God your anger or distractions. - Richard Rohr

. I give it as my testimony that there is a marvelous therapy in thanksgiving. - John Blanchard

Eve listening to the serpent’s word

Genesis 3:13

And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
  The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Belonging to the Devil

John 8:44

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

John 4:14

...but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. —

 Water! That precious gift for the tired and thirsty. Water! That essential refreshment we all need. Jesus, however, offers water we don't have to carry or purify. No, this is water that wells up within us. This is the water that the Holy Spirit brings us. This is the water that gives us eternal life that starts now and lasts forever!
