Secrets                                                                          by Danny C. Wash                                           “One who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,  but one who is trustworthy conceals a matter.”  Proverbs 11:13 A secret is a bit of private information given to hold in trust by another those words inside them forever. A secret can be a fire that burns in us and urges to be told which we must resist this temptation and reveal it never. A secret is recreated each time it is given to someone   but it is no longer a secret to those that again let it go and becomes a breach of the trust that was given to that one.

But when curiosity learns of a secret, it is aroused from its slumber and is like a hungry cat that can no longer rest until it has dined upon the delicious

7 A.M.

7 A.M.                                                                    by  Danny C. Wash I can’t get up from here . I’m frozen to this bed I fear. I know I should arise right now but my body will not so allow. Today I have many duties to attend. They all are hard and not my friend. I would like to just go away from it all to run and play and have a ball. But I must get up and go to work. I have many responsibilities I cannot shirk. There are many worries that I may find at 7 a.m. will enter into my tired mind. None of these fleeting thoughts are real even though at 7 a.m. they may so feel. I will ignore them all & jump up from bed. Perhaps the best of my life is just ahead.

Mercy and Grace

  Mercy and Grace                                                     By Danny C. Wash    “ Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the  throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may  find grace to help in time of need,” Hebrews 4:16 Are you carrying a load of worry and fears unable to be free from your crying & tears. Jesus on Earth said “Come to me, all who labor  and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Jesus entered into Heaven without reproach after the cross & and thereby being blessed, He sat on His throne of grace for us to approach, telling us to come with confidence to this place in time of need to receive His mercy & grace. And, Mercy & Grace issue from the heart of Jesus like two sisters whose roles have been decreed to use their power to meet our desperate need. Mercy represents the compassion of God for us and Grace is His undeserved favor for the unjust, who in Christ receive His justness by faith &  trust. Will you be justified thro
