The Light Was There In The Stumble
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the replay. You are cataloging every micro-expression, every pause that felt too long, convinced you betrayed your true self in the smallest slip.
You are reviewing the evidence as if the verdict depends on your performance today. But the light does not need you to be flawless to be present.
It was there in the stumble, just as it was in the step. Tonight, you are not being graded on your ability to hide the cracks.
The Father sees the whole story, not just the scenes you are rewinding in the dark. You can put the tape down.
The love that holds you is greater than the memory that haunts you. Rest now, not because you got it right, but because you are held.
Drawing from
Gospel of Mark, Gospel of John
