THE POWER OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

"People are often more defined by the things they hide than by the things they say or do." -- X

Just as Pastor Philemon said, An exposed sin is powerless. This statement holds a deep truth. The things we keep in the dark often have a stronger grip on us than we realize. The fear of being judged or feeling ashamed keeps us from acknowledging them, yet it is in secrecy that these struggles gain power.

Think about a time when you were burdened by something, perhaps a mistake, a bad habit, or even guilt over a past decision. You kept it to yourself, hoping it would fade away, but instead, it consumed your thoughts. 

The more you tried to ignore it, the heavier it became. Now, recall a moment when you finally confided in someone you trusted. The instant you spoke up, even if the situation did not change immediately, you felt lighter, as though a weight had been lifted.

This happens because negative things thrive in silence. The longer they remain hidden, the stronger they grow, shaping our thoughts and influencing our actions. Eventually, they become part of our identity, not because they define us, but because we allow them to.

The first step toward breaking free from anything that holds you back, whether a bad habit, an unhealthy addiction, or a deep regret, is to face the truth about it.

Dearest reader, acknowledgment weakens its grip, while denial only strengthens it. What you expose loses its power, and what you confront, you can begin to overcome.

You do not have to carry the weight alone. Healing and change begin with honesty.
