The Light Loves Your Trembling Truth

It is three in the morning, and the mask you built to keep everyone safe has finally slipped. You are terrified that if they saw the trembling thing underneath, they would walk away.

But the light does not love the performance. It loves the truth you are hiding.

There was a moment when Jesus looked at Nathanael and said, 'I saw you while you were still under the fig tree.' He saw you before you ever arranged yourself to be seen. He knows the version you invented, and he is not impressed by it.

He is waiting for the real you. What you are trying to protect is not your reputation, but your heart.

And the heart was made to be known, not hidden. The kingdom is inside of you, not in the story you tell about yourself.

When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known. Stop performing for an audience that already sees you in the dark.

The trembling is not a flaw. It is the only part of you that is real enough to be loved.
