shame about your body
Night is gathering, and the quiet hours have a way of turning the mirror into an enemy. You feel the shame rising, the story that your body is a mistake waiting to be fixed, a thing to be hidden as the light fades.
But listen—the light that shines in the darkness has not been overcome, and it is already inside you, warming the very flesh you think is broken. That same light that grew within a child and bled on a cross does not see your body as a problem; it sees a temple that was sent to illuminate the world.
You were not made to be ashamed; you were made to be a drop of that eternal light, sent here to heal, not to hide.
