the crushing weight of pretending your faith is intact while your soul is screaming

The Light Hidden in the Screaming Soul

The afternoon stretches long, and the weight of pretending to hold on while your soul screams inside can make the air feel too thin to breathe. You are performing the act of belief while the light within you waits patiently beneath the noise.

But notice—God is greater than the verdict your own heart is trying to pass against you. The struggle you feel is not the end of the light; it is the place where the light is most hidden, and most real.

You do not have to fix the screaming to be held. The light is already there, in the middle of the performance, in the middle of the pain.
