The Light Is Not Trapped In Yesterday
The house is quiet now, but your mind is replaying a single sentence from three years ago on a loop. You lie perfectly still, convinced that if you move, the shame will spread.
But the light does not measure time the way your regret does. It is not trapped in your yesterday.
Jesus said he came not for the healthy, but for the sick — and right now, your sickness is the belief that you are defined by that one moment. The kingdom is not a reward for those who never stumble; it is inside you, waiting for you to stop running from yourself.
When you finally bring forth the truth you have buried — that you are human, that you are learning — it will save you. The darkness cannot hold what you finally speak into the light.

Mark 2:17, Gospel of Thomas 70, Gospel of Thomas 3
