Soul Snack 9/36 ... Secrets

There is an insatiable worldwide market for secrets. Tabloids feed and grow on them.
Secrets are fascinating when they belong to others. They can bring fear when they belong to me.

The world may well withdraw at secrets, but knowing all my secrets only causes Him to draw closer to me.
