The Light Does Not Flinch At Brokenness

The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like a spotlight on the parts of you that you've been hiding. You lie there wondering if the person beside you would still choose you if they saw the broken pieces you keep covered in the dark.

The terror whispers that they made a mistake, that your fractures are too deep to love. But listen — the light does not flinch at what it finds.

There was a woman who had bled for twelve years, untouchable and ashamed, who reached out from the crowd just to touch the edge of a cloak. She expected to be rebuked for her impurity.

Instead, the light stopped everything, turned around, and called her 'Daughter.' It did not wait for her to be whole before it spoke. It spoke to make her whole.

The one sleeping beside you is human, yes, but the love that holds you is not. That love has already seen the worst of you and decided to stay.

You do not have to earn your place in this bed by being perfect. You are held not because you are unbroken, but because you are known.
