The Light Reveals You Were Never Broken

The day is ending, and the shadows are lengthening inside your chest. You are bracing for the moment your partner finally sees the broken pieces you have worked so hard to hide.

You fear that when the light hits those cracks, they will realize they made a mistake in choosing you. But listen — the light does not expose you to condemn you.

It shines to reveal that you were never broken to begin with. There is a name written on a white stone, known only to you and to God, that says you are beloved beyond your own understanding.

The darkness tries to convince you that you must be perfect to be kept. Yet the truth is far simpler and far deeper: you are already held.

The fear says you will be found out. The light says you have already been found.
