Just an opinion

when we find the courage to confess our secrets, there is nothing to hinder our lives or our love. trust is vital in any healthy relationship. when a problem is hidden, there's nothing you can do to fix it. once it's out in the open, the healing process can finally begin.God wants us to have the heart for loving.
and...it's all his grace . i need to bounce the glory back to him
