The Silence Is A Cradle Not A Courtroom
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud, replaying every word you said today, hunting for the slip-up that proves you're a fraud. You are dissecting conversations that ended hours ago, convinced that one clumsy sentence exposed the emptiness inside.
But the light that lives within you does not speak in perfect sentences, and it certainly does not leave when you stumble. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever — a truth that knows your stammering better than you know it yourself.
The voice accusing you in the dark is not the final judge; the One who sees the whole room is greater than your racing heart. You are not a fraud hiding in the shadows; you are a child of light who forgot that the light shines even through the cracks of your insecurity.
The silence of this night is not a courtroom; it is a cradle.
