What are you hiding?
If a person hides a secret in his heart, God will reveal it one day. God turns this secret into a garment and dresses him with it. This person will show his true self one day.
Abu Basir narrated from Imam Sadiq (‘a), “There is no servant who hides a goodness within himself but that after a time God manifests this goodness.” God will manifest this goodness in his life one day. God will do this one day. “There is no servant who hides an evil within himself but that after a time God manifests this evil.” [Kafi, vol. 5, p. 181]
For example, a person likes some sins, but he is not in the situation to commit them. He thinks the grass is greener on the other side and those who are drowned in these sins are having so much fun. He wants it in his heart too, but the opportunity doesn’t come up. Also, his religiosity doesn’t allow him to commit sins, but it’s in his heart. One day, God will prepare the situation for him and he will harm himself in a bad way. He (God) won’t just prepare the environment for him to enjoy.
The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (‘a), said, “No one hides anything in his heart but that it will be revealed in the slips of his tongue or the color of his face.” [Nahj al-Balaghah, Maxim no. 26] No one hides anything but that one day he will automatically show it in his behaviour. He either shows it or it becomes destined to take place for him. He’ll become wretched with it. If on the Day of Judgment God says, “You wanted this yourself,” what will you say? You can’t say, “Ok, so I did something bad when I was ignorant. God, why did You take it seriously?!”
A tradition says, “Indeed God has ordained that He will help His servants in accordance with their intentions.” If their intentions are perfect and complete, God will deal with them in that way. If their intentions are bad, God will treat them in this way. Everything is in God’s hands, everything. And, He plans everything based on what you want. What are you hiding in your heart?
“There is no servant who hides a goodness within himself but that after a time God manifests this goodness. There is no servant who hides an evil within himself but that after a time God manifests this evil.” God will do this one day.
