No one appreciates being spied on. The need for privacy begins early in childhood, intensifies during adolescence, and will continue for all of life. There are circumstances and conditions that limit privacy as well as trust. However, some people are given to being intrusive, which can create conflict and alienation.
When someone tries to explain themselves in ways that are unclear, it’s not uncommon to want more information to confirm they’re trustworthy. Reading and listening to supplementary information can clarify a situation and make it more acceptable. That's why certain boundaries may be side-stepped to settle an issue.
There will be strong impulses to hide your thoughts and behaviors from others, including God. Being deceptive makes it difficult to accept that God sees and knows your secrets. Proverbs 5:21 confirms, “Mark well that God doesn’t miss a move you make” because he loves you, wants to help you, even rescue you. Now that is good news!

So do not be afraid of people. Whatever is now covered
up will be uncovered, and every secret will be made known.
