the terror that you are now fundamentally unlovable

You Are Already Held By Light

The house is quiet now, and the silence has a way of amplifying the voice that says you are too broken to be held. It whispers that what happened to you, or what you did, has changed your nature forever.

That you are now fundamentally unlovable. But listen — the light does not calculate your worth based on your history.

It sees the immovable image beneath the damage. There was a man once who carried so much shame he believed he was finished, yet the light looked him in the eye and said, 'Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.' The command to go home was given before the man had fixed a single thing about his past.

You are not waiting to become lovable. You are already the place where the light lives.

The terror tells you that you are a stranger to grace, but the truth is that grace has already made its home in you. You are not waiting for permission to return; you are already held.
