Stop Arguing With Your Need

It is three in the morning, and you are rehearsing a speech you are too proud to deliver. You craft the perfect apology for not asking sooner, polishing the words until they shine, all while convincing yourself you do not need help at all.

This is the heavy silence of the darkest hour — the war between your hunger and your hesitation. But the light does not wait for your script to be finished.

It saw the woman who washed its feet with her tears and said her great love showed she had been forgiven much. You do not need to earn the right to be held.

The kingdom is inside you, not in the performance of your perfection. Stop arguing with your own need.

The door is open, and you are already loved.
