Stop Rehearsing, Just Speak the Light

The afternoon sun is high, and you are sitting in the quiet, rehearsing the words you need to say to your parents about the love you have found. You run the script over and over, anticipating every objection, every silence, every place where your voice might break.

You are trying to build a bridge out of perfect sentences before you have even taken the first step. But the light does not ask for a flawless performance.

It asks for a step. There was a man who had been blind from birth, and people asked whose fault it was—his or his parents'.

The light said neither. It simply made mud, put it on his eyes, and told him to go wash.

He did not argue the theology. He did not rehearse his defense.

He went. And he came back seeing.

Your love is not a debate to be won with the right arguments. It is a thing that exists, like the light itself.

You do not need to convince them that it is real before you speak it. You only need to speak it.

The words will come, not because you perfected them in the dark, but because the light is already in your mouth.
