What kind of skeletons are in your closet?


Okay everyone here's a bold question for you.
What skeleton do you have hiding in your closet?
Why are you hiding it?
God knows its there? Why not just go ahead and give it up to Him now?
There is someone out there who needs to hear about our skeletons and know that we aren't perfect little Christians. We do things wrong too.


There are people who need to hear our story so they can know that God can forgive them too and clean them up from the things they are hiding, yep it's hard to tell those things to people who think oh they would never do that, but oh if they only knew what we were hiding.

My daughter shared part of her testimony in Sunday School this morning and I thought some people would drop their drawers, because no one there really knew about this part of her life, and I myself only found out about it several months ago when she finally decided to tell me about it. Now that she has dealt with God on it and God has cleansed her, God is now using her story to reach out to others who have this same problem.

We should not judge her, talk about her or in any way think differently of her. She is still God's child and deserves His love just like you and I. She deserves forgiveness just like you and I. No matter what she did or will do in her life.

Think about those skeletons you have in your closet that no one knows about. Are you ready to come clean with yourself and God and allow God to use your story to reach others.

Let's open our closet and let them out and see how God can use us.
Any one who would like to open their closet and share your skeleton please feel free.
God can use your story to reach someone out there who needs Him! Don't hold back

That is so true Beverly!! We need to allow God to show himself through us and the mistakes that we have made. How else will they know what He can do for them??

I am so proud of your young daughter for standing before those other women (much older than her) and being real. What a powerful testimony of where she is with the Lord. Way to go, Kelly!!

Anyway... skeletons are much uglier in the dark than they are in the light of God's grace.
