Colossians 2:3-4

All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else. And we’ve been shown the mystery! I’m telling you this because I don’t want anyone leading you off on some wild-goose chase, after other so-called mysteries, or “the Secret.”
— The Message
In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.
— New Living Translation

Man’s religion always has secrets. Learn them and life will be good. Then there are more secrets and more. Secret seeking becomes a bondage. Eventually the one behind the secret seeking leads the seeker to himself. Darkness and destruction ensue.

But God’s way is full disclosure! Joyfully, it is simple. Christ alone. Destruction’s way is increasingly shallow, narrow and bleak. Christ’s way is rich, meaty, utterly beautiful and free. It may be simple, but it leads to a delight-full and wide-open but secure life of joyful discovery.

Lord, I am so grateful for your leading in my life. You have directed, provided, healed in many ways. Thank you for joy, freedom and discovery you bless me with. You are everything to me!
