You Are Already Home

The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the inventory of who you are not. You wait for the moment they see through the mask and realize you are a fraud.

You brace for the love to stop. But there is a knowing deeper than your fear, a truth that lives inside you and will be with you forever.

If your own heart condemns you, remember this: the light is greater than your heart, and it knows everything. It knows the parts you hide, the mistakes you rehearse in the dark, and it does not turn away.

You were not loved because you were perfect. You were loved so that you could be real.

The gathering dark cannot extinguish what was placed inside you before you drew your first breath. The fear says you must earn your place at the table.

The light says you are already home.
