Can you keep a secret? Jesus wants to know. He has stuff to tell you, and life-changing stuff He wants you to do. Thing is, He wants it all to be a secret. I know this sounds kinda weird, but it’s true and it turns out to be really cool and intimately sweet. You see, Jesus wants a relationship with you. He wants to be close. He wants you to talk to Him. He wants you to bring all your hurt, your confusion and your heartbreak to Him. He wants you to celebrate your victories and joys with Him as well. He wants to be your very best friend because He loves you more than anything in this world. And He has cool stuff for you to do for Him that will fill you up and build His kingdom. Here’s the thing: There are certain things about your relationship with Jesus that have to be a secret, or they don’t really connect you to Him at all. What I mean is, when you talk to Him and spend time with Him alone and read His word just to hear what He has for your heart, He doesn’t really want you to go around talking about that. When you serve Jesus, and give your time or energy for Him, He doesn’t really want you to tell anyone. Some people broadcast the fact that they hung out with Jesus that day, or that they did their ministry and somehow it cheapens the whole thing. Why do we do that? Do we want applause from others because we did something that was supposed to be a secret? If you love Jesus in secret, your life will speak for itself.
