The Crack Where the Light Got In
The afternoon sun is unforgiving. It exposes every crack in the mask you wear for work.
You keep replaying that one second—when your voice broke, when the tremor betrayed how close you were to falling apart. You wonder if they saw it.
If they know. But the light does not scan you for composure.
It sees the tremor and calls it honest. There is a scene where a man, blind from birth, is asked who sinned to make him this way.
The answer changes everything: neither. Your shaking is not a verdict.
It is not a failure of faith. It is simply the place where the work of the light can be displayed.
You do not have to hold the line. The crack is not where you lost them.
It is where the light got in.

John 9:1-7, Matthew 6:22-23
