Stop Editing the Recording of Your Voice

The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the echo of your own voice. You replay the exact tone, convinced it sounded desperate, foolish, too much.

You are the judge and the accused in a trial that ended hours ago. But listen — the light does not flinch at your trembling words.

There was a man born blind, and the world argued over whose sin caused it, but the light said: neither. Your awkwardness is not a sin to be punished.

It is a canvas. The light looks at the stutter and the strain and sees not a failure, but the place where it can shine brightest.

You are trying to edit a recording that the Father has already heard with perfect love. Stop the tape.

The voice you hate is the very one the light used to reach you.
