Psalm 90

Psalm 90:8
You have placed our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
We like to hide things.  We don't trust others with our deepest secrets; that's why they're secrets in the first place.  We bottle them up, and do our best to not even hint that they exist.  If someone suspects they exist, they might pry, and then all our ickiness would be revealed.

But God doesn't pry.  He doesn't have to.  He already knows, and like everything else about us, they're laid out before Him.  Every last ugly detail that we don't want anyone else to know, He can see just as clearly as all the good stuff we want people to see.  And even with all that, He doesn't turn away from us; all we have to do is accept the offer He's made us.
