The Light Shines Through Your Cracks
The house is quiet now, and the day's performance has finally ended. In this gathering dark, the cracks you tried to hide feel like the only real thing about you.
You wonder if anyone could ever love a person this fractured, this full of repairs. But listen — there is a love that does not wait for you to be whole before it arrives.
It sees the broken pieces and calls them worthy. You are not too damaged to be held.
The light does not require your perfection to shine through you. What you call broken, the divine calls an opening.
You are not a project to be fixed. You are already the beloved.

Gospel of Thomas, Luke
Verses
Luke 6:35-36
