The Light Knows Your Cracks Already
The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day has finally slipped. In the dark, the old fear whispers: if they saw the cracks, if they knew the questions you carry, they would leave.
You have spent so long polishing the surface, terrified that the real you is a fraud waiting to be exposed. But the light does not need your performance.
It saw you before you ever built the wall. It knew the cracks before you tried to hide them.
What you call a flaw, the light calls a doorway. You are not a fraud to be uncovered; you are a child to be held.
The truth will not drive love away—it will invite it in.

Gospel of Thomas, John
