Light Dwells in the Mess

The afternoon light is unforgiving. It exposes every crack in the mask you wear to get through the day.

You move through the routine terrified that if anyone really saw the damage inside you, they would walk away for good. You believe you are a project too broken to finish.

A lost cause. But listen — the light does not scan for flaws before it enters.

It entered the world precisely to dwell in the mess. There was a man blind from birth, and the question was asked: who sinned to make him this way?

The answer was neither. His condition was not a verdict of unfixability.

It was a canvas. The light looked at the one thing everyone else saw as a permanent failure and said: this is where God will be displayed.

You are not a mistake waiting to be corrected. You are a place where the light is already working.

The defect you hide is the very place the glory is waiting to shine through.
