The Secret Room
I view our heart is like a house with many rooms. And in different timing and different stages of life we will enter in to each door, one-by-one. So in different room, we will experience different things. It can be good and can be bad. It depends on how you look at it. And I believe that in everyone's life, there is surely a room that we want to hide it to be known by others. There can be many reasons of why we want to hide this room to others or even ourselves. And most importantly is that we even will hide it from God. And guess what, that is for sure not possible to happen. Cause God knows all things. And in this hidden secret room, there might be things that you have gone through that you don't want to think about it and even want to avoid from thinking and dealing with it. You might even think that it is not necessary at all. But in actual fact, it is very important that we deal and face the fact. We should not keep the door lock from God. We should learn to let Him enter, and help us to face and learn from the things that bitters us in that particular room. God knows us and knows our heart. So, no one is better to tell and reveal this problem to than Him. The BEST choice ever.
I come to realize that, in life, as a Christian, if we don't open all the doors of our heart to Him, our heart and mind cannot be renewed. We will maintain where we are. Though we might serve in church and all, but still your mind is not transform by Him. We are not renewed or born again. We might think we are, but in actual fact, we are not. So, dealing with the deepest heart matters does help. It helps us to let God take charge of every little detail in our life. Then only we can allow Him to renew our mind. With the renewal of mind, then our heart that will be affected most of the time by the emotions and feelings will be focused and more directed to Him. Things will be different. Perspective will change as well. We will look at things differently. We will not let our feeling and emotions lead us to the negative path, but instead it will and should lead us to the positive path that leads to Christ.
Without the renewal of mind, our Christian walk and life won't grow and tentatively might not even be effective. There might be no fruits growing. So, to want to grow, we shall first deal with the matter of the heart. Trust me, after dealing with it together with God, thing will change. Life change and your lifestyle will too. Isn't it great! It is wonderful to me. The joy and peace is so overwhelming that I can't even find a word to describe it. I feel so much lighter in a sense my hearts burden is gone. It is as if I have done a major clean up of the whole house including that secret room. Everything is painted new and arranged in a different form. It is a very refreshing feeling. Try it, if you don't believe it! Your life WILL CHANGE. Mine has. This is not only for non-believers, but it is also useful for the believers.
