The Light Does Not Need Your Muscles
The day is done, and the mask feels heavy now, fused to the skin from hours of holding it in place. You wonder if the real face beneath has forgotten how to move, stiff from disuse, afraid to try.
But listen — the light does not need your muscles to work before it can shine. It is not a performance you must restart.
The Father sees what is hidden, and he is not waiting for a perfect expression, only for you to stop hiding. There is nothing concealed that will not be brought out into the open.
You do not have to force the smile or the frown; the light knows how to move you when you finally let go. Just breathe.
The exhale is enough.
