The Name Spoken in Silence
The house is quiet, but your heart is racing at the sound of the mail slot clattering against the floor. You wait for the footsteps to fade, terrified of someone seeing the sender's name on those envelopes.
In the dark, shame feels like a guard standing between you and the truth. But the light does not read your mail to condemn you.
It shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. You are not defined by the letters that arrive when you are afraid.
The truth lives in us and will be with us forever. The name that matters is not the one printed on the envelope, but the one spoken over you in the silence.
