The Light Does Not Flinch From Fire
The mask feels heavy right now, doesn't it? You are smiling at the world while carrying a fire inside that you are terrified to show.
You think if you admit the rage, if you let the anger speak, God will finally turn away and leave you in the silence you deserve. But the light does not flinch from your fire.
It is not afraid of your honest, burning heart. The light came to the world not to judge the darkness, but to shine within it — and your rage is just another place where the light is waiting to be seen.
You do not have to be calm to be loved. You do not have to be quiet to be held.
The terror says you will be abandoned if you break; the truth says you are already known, rage and all, and the light is still here.
