Bring Your Broken Words Into The Light
The afternoon sun is high, and the shadows inside your head are sharp. You are rehearsing the apology again, turning the words over until they feel like stones in your mouth.
By the time you speak, you are certain the moment is already ruined. But the light does not live in your rehearsal.
It lives in the silence between your fear and your courage. There is a story of a woman who poured out everything she had at the feet of the light, trembling, with no perfect speech prepared.
And the voice that spoke to her did not ask for a script. It simply said: 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.' You do not need to fix the past before you step forward.
You only need to bring your broken words into the room. The light is already there, waiting not for your performance, but for your presence.

Luke 7:47, Gospel of Thomas 50
