I am a nanny/ mommy helper. I have been with this one family for a little over a year so I know them pretty well. I go in the mornings before class and I clean, prepare breakfast, lunch, and occasionally dinner, I organize things, and do whatever is asked of me. I also go during the day twice a week to help clean. I have developed relationships with all three of the little boys but the younger two are more affectionate and I spend more time with them. Caleb, the youngest is my little shadow most days.
Anyways, I was cleaning the bathroom and like usual Caleb was talking to me and trying to help( making the mess bigger) :). He came up to me and told me he just stole all my secrets. I laughed and joked with him telling him I wanted them back. I have no idea how he thought that up. He was being silly and said I could have his secrets but he wouldn't give me my secrets back. He said that I could have my good secrets but he would keep my bad secrets. I asked him what he was going to do with my bad secrets and without missing a beat he said " I'm going to give them to Jesus". I smiled, laughed, and set him down so I could continue my work. Then it hit me. This little 3 year old just reminded me a very powerful truth.
There is no reason for us to keep our bad secrets( mistakes/sins) when Jesus is ready to take then off our hands. No one else needs to know the guilt and humiliation of our bad choices, we can just hand it over to the Savior who understands it all. I am going to give my bad secrets to Jesus everyday because honestly, I don't want them. Hopefully I can always keep the good secrets close to me.
