Your Crack Is Where Light Gets Out
The afternoon hums with the noise of things being done, but your mind is stuck on one second—the moment your voice cracked and the room seemed to hold its breath. You are replaying the stumble, convinced everyone saw the fracture in your composure.
But the light does not scan for flaws; it sees the whole person, not the single broken note. There is a man who was born blind, and the people around him argued about whose fault it was, but the light said no one sinned—this happened so the works of God might be displayed in him.
Your crack is not a failure to be hidden; it is the place where the light gets out. You came from the light, and you return to it, regardless of how your voice sounded in the middle of the day.
The perfection you think you lost was never the point; the presence is.
Drawing from
John 9:3, Gospel of Thomas 50
