Keep secret

Scripture:
Rev 10:4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret[b] what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.”

Observation:
"keep secret". not sure why this leaped off the page to me this morning. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the Lord often wants to speak "secret things"to us that are only for us? When was the last time i listened to the heartbeat of the Lord and kept our time together a secret? like the intimate times a husband gets to spend with his wife, can i keep secret the intimate thing the Lord and I share?

Application:
I want to spend time with the Lord. I want to build a relationship with the Lord that He can trust. I want to listen to the secret things that he wants to share with me and keep it in that place of intimacy

Prayer:
Lord, I want to develop that secret place with you. I want to hear your heart beat and know what i can share and what you want me to keep between you and i. Would you help me learn and know how to develop that place with you? - I love you my Jesus

Tears in Heaven

Scripture:
Revelation: 7:17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Observation:
Will there be tears in Heaven? It says here in Rev. that there will be tears in Heaven. What kind of tears will they be? I wonder if they will be tears of regret. tears of what should have been, tears of what might have been. tears of what should have been while life was in the balance.

Application:
What if i lived life without regret? Can life really be lived without regret so that the tears that will fall from my eyes will be few? I want that. I want to life to my potential and life in obedience.

Prayer:
Lord will you help me to live life without regret? life with the fullest of response to your voice.
I love you
