The Light Knows Where You Sit
The house is quiet now, and you are sitting in the hallway because the dark feels like the only place your brokenness fits. You hold your breath, terrified that a single sound or a sliver of light will expose the fracture running through you.
But listen — what you are hiding is not a secret to the light. It knows exactly where you are sitting.
It has been with you in this silence all along. What you think is a flaw to be covered is actually the very place where the light is waiting to shine.
You do not have to stay hidden to be loved. The thing you are most afraid they will see is the only thing that makes you real.

John 9:3, Gospel of Thomas 51
