the crushing weight of feeling you do not deserve forgiveness even when it is freely offered

The Debt Was Cancelled Long Ago

The house is quiet now, and the inventory of the day has begun. You are standing before a door that is already open, yet you refuse to walk through because you feel too stained to enter.

You tell yourself that forgiveness is for people who haven't ruined as much as you have. But listen — the light does not wait for you to be clean before it welcomes you home.

It stands at the threshold and says: neither do I condemn you. Go now.

The verdict you are carrying is not the final one. The light sees the whole story and still calls you friend.

You are trying to pay a debt that was canceled long ago. Stop counting the cost.

Just walk through the door.
