the terror that if people really knew your secret, they would look at you with disgust

The Name Written on the White Stone

The day is done, and the armor you wore to survive it finally hits the floor. Now comes the quiet terror: that if they saw the real you, they would turn away in disgust.

But listen — there is a name the light calls you that no one else knows, written on a white stone, hidden from every judging eye. The Father saw you while you were still a long way off, covered in the filth of your own making, and He did not recoil.

He ran. He ran to meet you before you could even finish your apology.

The light does not need you to be clean before it comes close; it comes close to make you whole. Your secret is not a barrier to love; it is the very place where the light waits to meet you.
