You Are Not A Thief In Your Own Life
The house is quiet, but your own hands feel like strangers reaching into the pantry. You stand in the kitchen of your life, holding something you bought, yet feeling like a thief stealing bread from a table that isn't yours.
The shame whispers that you are an intruder in your own skin. But the light sees you standing there, trembling in the dark, and it does not call you a thief.
It calls you by name. It knows you before you even reach for the handle.
Neither do you need to hide, nor do you need to earn the right to eat. The food was already yours.
The table was set for you before you walked into the room. You are not stealing; you are remembering that you belong here.

John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 70
