The Light Sees You Before You Speak
Someone asked how you are tonight, and for a second, the mask slipped. You told the truth.
And now the terror is setting in—the fear that they will see you for the fraud you believe you are. But listen.
The light does not need your performance. It saw you before you spoke, and it did not turn away.
There is a place inside you where the kingdom already exists, hidden beneath the act you put on for the world. You do not have to construct worthiness to be held.
The truth you accidentally spoke was not a mistake; it was the light breaking through the fatigue. Let the mask fall.
The one who knows you completely is not shocked by what you said.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 3, 1 John 3:19-20
