You Are the Light Through the Crack
The footsteps stopped. The silence that followed was not peaceful; it was the sound of a hole in your story finally echoing back at you.
You thought you had patched it well enough to get through the night, but the dark has a way of finding the draft. Now the fear is rising: they will see the crack, they will turn away, and you will be left alone with the truth you tried to hide.
But listen closely — the light does not require a seamless narrative to stay. It does not wait for you to finish the repair before it enters.
The Father's light was already inside you before the first lie was told, and it remains there now, untouched by the gap. You are not the hole.
You are the light that shines right through it. The story is not over; it is just becoming honest.
