From Kaze Gadways FB page: From Whom No Secrets Are Hid by Kaze Gadway “That’s frightening,” says one of the youth after we read the morning collect. “Secrets are meant to be secret.” One of the other youth laughs and says “Wait until you have a girlfriend. You will tell her everything about you before you know it.” “Yeah,” says another. “And then she will betray you.” Bitterness spilled out of the group. Many have had this experience. Honesty is hard for those who have grown up with those who take advantage of any vulnerability. These youth have learned to shield themselves with a hard core of defense. Prayer has been the spiritual tool for allowing us to be honest. Some of our prayers in the group and prayers I have heard about in silence are heartbreaking. If I were to summarize what I have heard over the years it would be “God, please love me even when I mess up so much and I don’t deserve it and God, don’t let my family suffer any more.” “Before you no secrets are hid,” is a powerful reality that catches me off guard every time I hear or recite it. It is an awesome promise. It allows me to keep my integrity upfront.
