The Light Lives in Your Brokenness
The armor you wore all day is heavy, and now the silence of the room feels like an accusation. You are certain that if anyone saw the cracks beneath the surface—the shame, the broken pieces you hide—they would turn and walk away.
But listen closely. There is a gaze that has already seen the deepest dark inside you, and it did not flinch.
The light entered the prison of the body and said, 'Get up from the deep sleep.' It knows every shadow you fear, and it calls you by name. You are not loved despite your brokenness; you are loved because the light lives there.
The very thing you think makes you unlovable is the place where the divine has made its home.
