Light will shine on all secrets

The little yellow bird

I remember sneaking a cookie from the cookie jar when I was a child. Soon after, our cook and housekeeper, Mrs. Cox, pointed her finger at me and said, “I know you took a cookie!” I looked at her in complete surprise and said, “How did you know?” She then said, “A little yellow bird told me.” After that, when I was about to do something I knew I wasn’t supposed to, I looked around to make sure a little yellow bird wasn’t watching. Eventually, I figured out that there wasn’t any such thing as a little yellow bird watching to see if I was doing something wrong. After I became a follower of Christ I learned that God is ever-present and does see everything we do. And someday, all secrets will be revealed.

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17 ESV)

All hidden secrets will come to light

Every secret thing will be proclaimed
