Only you know your complete story; right now, it may seem like you’re headed uphill. You may have something that feels like a no-win situation. Or you're in a wait-and-see moment where it is completely out of your control. You can't see or understand, but learn from Abraham-Faith never runs out of time.

Solomon wrote, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.” (Proverbs 4:23-24)

The more often we recognize how unevenly weighted our words are and how heavy our words are to my kids, the better we can avoid saying what we don’t mean to say or letting our intent get lost. Mark Batterson writes in his new book, Please, Sorry, Thanks, “Your words create worlds.” However, we get to determine what those worlds look like.

When we fall into old temptations, our natural inclination is isolation. We hide our mess. We cover our failure, but when we share the secret, the secret loses its power. Is it a risk to share your vulnerability with someone else? Absolutely. Is it even more risky to keep it hidden and let it grow? Absolutely. But this isn't about sharing your secrets with just anyone. It's about trusting people with whom you are in community.
