1Timothy 5:24 Hidden And Open. 6 Jul 2025

1Ti 5:24 The faults of some people
are obvious long before they come to the reckoning,
while others have faults that are not discovered until later. 25 Similarly, the good that people do can be obvious;
but even when it is not,
it cannot remain hidden.

Nothing Remains Hidden Forever

I desire that others may know me. Unfortunately, I tend to hide a lot. I might be afraid that I will be rejected when I open up. Will I? That is an issue that I desire to explore.
I expect that in the eternal life, whether in heaven or in hell, I will be known for who I am. With Christ, I can stand.

My Faults

It shall be clear that many of my faults are visible for others. Even when I can't recognize them myself.

Prayer

Jesus, I ask for the grace to know my faults. Show me little by little the way into the light. Grant me courage to practice kindness.
