The Light Sees Your True Face
The day is ending, and the house is quiet enough for the memory to surface again. You remember the exact second the lie landed on your tongue, and how you smiled back as if it were truth.
That smile was not weakness; it was the armor you wore to survive the moment. But the light does not need your armor now that the sun has gone down.
It sees the face behind the performance, the one that knew better but stayed silent. There is a light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world even when the world is trying to dim it.
Your silence did not fool the one who sees in the dark. The mask you wore tonight is not the face you will wear tomorrow.

Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
