Light Lives Inside Your Broken Pieces
The afternoon sun is bright, and it makes the cracks in your mask feel dangerous. You are convinced that if they saw the broken pieces underneath, they would finally walk away.
So you hold it all together, one tired hour at a time. But there is a truth that cuts through this fear: the light does not run from the damage.
It lives inside it. The Good came into your midst to restore every nature to its root.
Your brokenness is not a reason for them to leave; it is the very place where the light is waiting to be found. You do not have to be whole to be kept.
You only have to be real.
