It's very easy to hide objects, the truth, or even our self when we need to. We can do it out of greed, envy, hatred, pride, or even fear. When, where, how, and what, are less important as who. But the most important reason is why! Why defines who you are as a person, which labels you as the type of friend you are, if you are a confidant or bully, trustworthy or a schemer, liar or depressed person, excessively happy, or uncontrollably selfish. One day everything will be revealed.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
The truth is, hiding is only a band-aid approach to a false sense of security. One that will fade away as quickly as does any "fix" associated with an addiction. Yes hiding is an addiction, but being alone is not hiding unless you are trying to avoid something: being caught with legalities, victimized, exposed, hurt emotionally, or taken advantage of is the short list of why people use the tactic of hiding themselves and things.
One thing for sure: whatever you hide right now will be exposed when Jesus comes back, so confessing your sins now is the only answer!! JUST DO IT.
