The Light Sees Your Deleted Words
The cursor blinks in the dark, waiting for words that feel too heavy to type. You write the truth, then delete it, afraid that your desperation will be too much for them to hold.
But listen — the light does not need your words to be perfect, or even complete. It only needs you to stop hiding.
There was a woman once who washed feet with her tears because she had no words left, and the light said her great love showed more than any speech ever could. Your deleted messages are not failures; they are the tears you are afraid to show.
The light sees them. It sees the ache behind the backspace.
You do not have to send the text to be known. The silence you are sitting in right now is already heard.

Luke 7:47, John 8:10-11
