No Debt to Collect, Only Love
The afternoon sun is unforgiving, exposing every crack in the mask you wear to get through the day. When kindness arrives unsolicited, your chest tightens because you are certain they are investing in a performance—a version of you that doesn't exist.
You brace for the invoice, convinced that eventually, they will demand repayment you cannot make. But the light does not operate on credit.
It sees what is hidden behind the curtain of your effort, and it loves that, too. There is no debt to collect, only a presence that refuses to leave when the work stops.
You are not a project to be completed, but a person already known.
Drawing from
John 1:48, 1 John 3:19-20
