Friend Beth,

As you know we are all like little children, even though we are physically older we are spiritually very immature. Imagine yourself as one of many young children in the local congregation who are worshiping God as you have been trained and after class one day the teacher calls you to one side to speak to you privately. 

The teacher tells you then that you have been selected to receive special information and training that the other children are not being given at this time.  He tells you that this special training will prepare you to serve as counselor and teacher for the next class of little ones and that you must keep this information to yourself until graduation, because even though you are able to understand it in part, you will not immediately have the capacity to share the information effectively with others; not until you have completed the course work.

The other children are not able to understand the special lessons at this time, because the teacher has other plans for them.  They will be able to understand later and will have the blessing of serving and sharing when the time is right.  For now it is your job to learn as much as possible and to hold these things in your heart and practice them so that you become the things you are being taught, like the teacher.

These things are sometimes called 'mysteries' which is defined as 'spiritual secrets'.  God, who never lies, does provide answers to the mysteries of life to each person in the proper order.  This is not to show favoritism to God's children, for all will receive their reward in due time.  God however is the only one who knows what is the best time to reveal 'spiritual secrets' and we must learn to trust God and to patiently wait upon God to do what is best for each of us.

This time in your life may be a special opportunity to learn patience and compassion for others and to prepare yourself to serve in a greater way when Messiah Jesus comes into his Kingdom.  You have a special friend in Jesus our counselor and comforter who loves you completely and without reservation.  Trust him and lean upon him and you will have peace.

You might continue doing that with your husband too.  God can make even the most ordinary of men to be loving and attentive and special when we trust God.  So continue letting God into your heart and then follow your heart with joy.

Your friend Indiana Bob
