Sacred Ground in Your Brokenness
The afternoon light is flat and honest, exposing the parts of you that feel too broken to name. There is a humiliation in needing another pair of hands to clean your body, a silence so heavy it feels like it might crush your ribs.
You feel reduced to a burden, a problem to be solved by someone else's patience. But listen — the light does not turn away from the mess.
It did not come for the clean; it came for the whole person, exactly as you are right now. What you call shame, the light calls sacred ground.
There is no part of you too dirty to be held. The light is not waiting for you to stand up on your own.
It is already here, in the quiet act of being cared for, seeing not a burden but a beloved friend who needs rest.

John 9:1-7, Mark 5:19
