The Light Enters Through Your Shame
The house is quiet now, but that old lie is loud. It hums under your skin like a live wire, sparking every time the room goes dark.
You have carried it for years, convinced the weight of it proves you are broken beyond repair. But listen — the light does not demand you untangle the past before it can touch you.
In a crowded room, a paralyzed man was lowered through a roof, and the first thing the light said was not a question about his history, but a declaration of peace: 'Take heart.' Your shame is not a barrier. It is the very place where the mercy enters.
The wire is not live forever. The gathering dark cannot hold what the light has already forgiven.

Mark 2:5, Matthew 26:38-39
