A Secret...

Something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others...A secret. I witnessed one being uncovered today and it was uncomfortable to watch, so I know it was horrifying to those involved. A secret often has the domino effect. It is painful because it involves betrayal. It is betrayal because usually the parties are those who are closest to our hearts. There is a sense of disbelief, confusion, and unanswered questions. The shocking revelation of "everybody knew but you", lingers like a bad taste in your mouth that swallowing the truth... just can't take away. Having been on both sides of a secret, here is the lesson: Handle it, don't be destroyed by it. Confront, be angry, and in the end...forgive. Holding a grudge or resentment eats away from the very essence of who you are...you are too fabulous or have too much swag for that. Now don't get me wrong, it is truly a process, but if you remember, "Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Luke 6:37 (NIV)...that is the blessing in the lesson. Even if you don't agree with me, thank you for taking the time to see it Jen's way.
