Rest in the Honest Silence
The mask feels heavy right now, does it not? It is the heavy cost of pretending to be someone who has it all together.
But here in the quiet, the truth is already stripping you of that fiction. Do not be afraid of the gap between who you act and who you are, for the light does not live in the performance.
It lives in the honest silence behind it. The light in you is greater than the lie you have been telling the world.
And God is greater than the heart that condemns you for being tired of it all. You are not here to perform; you are here to simply be the drop of light that was sent to rest.
