The Light Kneels in Your Dust

It happens in the middle of the day, right when the conversation is flowing. You feel the real weight rising in your throat, and you catch yourself editing it down.

You swap the raw truth for a smaller, palatable version just to make sure they stay engaged. You trim the jagged edges of your grief so it fits neatly in their hands.

But the light does not need you to be digestible. It does not require your pain to be polite.

There was a man born blind, and the crowd kept asking who sinned to make it happen. Jesus ignored their theology entirely.

He spat on the ground. He made mud.

He touched the broken place with dirt. He did not ask for a clean story.

He met the mess with more mess. The healing started when the dirt touched the wound.

Not when the explanation made sense. Stop rehearsing the version of your story that keeps people comfortable.

The light is not afraid of your unedited reality. It is already kneeling in the dust with you.
