The Crack Where Truth Gets Out
The house is quiet now, but your mind is replaying the recording. You hear the tremor in your own voice, the smallness of it, the way you stumbled over a word, and you cringe so hard you curl your toes.
You are convinced that everyone heard your uncertainty. That they know you are pretending.
But listen — the light does not flinch at a trembling voice. There was a man who said, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.' He spoke his doubt out loud, in front of a crowd, and the light did not correct his tone.
It healed his son. The light is not listening for perfection.
It is listening for you. The crack in your voice is not a failure — it is the place where the truth gets out.
You are not too small to be held. You are exactly the size the light was looking for.
