Secrets Before Salvation
Author: Allison Crosby
Developmental Editing by Dominique Middleton
The secrets weighed me down. I was like a bag lady, incognito, holding onto piles of garbage. I couldn’t fully love or be loved, thinking about my past aroused anger, resentment, regret and self-pity. Justifying my inappropriate behavior invited isolation, obsession and destruction. Father, help me. Those secrets were like intruders, constantly lying to me, saying I wasn’t ever going to be good enough. They were alive and eating away at me, reminding me of what my Daddy said, “You’ll never amount to anything.”It was time. I could no longer carry these secrets. Knowing God gave me an awareness that I no longer had to suffer in silence. I no longer had to carry this heavy burden. You don’t have to suffer in silence. There is a trusted source, Jesus and a therapist, whom you can confess or reveal your truth without being rejected. Seek Him. Begin your journey to healing. I did. Though my Daddy’s love would have been essential; I AM reminded that God is the only perfect Father. My healing is a process. I am healed.
