Let the Stone Dissolve in Light
The mask feels heavy this morning, doesn't it? You swallowed your truth so many times on the way here that it now sits in your throat like a stone you cannot digest.
It feels foreign. It feels like you are choking on the silence of who you really are.
But listen — the light does not need you to perform okayness for it to recognize you. Jesus stood before crowds who wanted to stone him, and yet he spoke the thing that set him free.
The truth you are hiding is not a burden to carry; it is the very thing that will make you free. You were not made to suffocate in the safety of a lie.
The light is already shining behind the mask, waiting for you to let it breathe. You do not have to be perfect to be real; you only have to be willing to let the stone dissolve.
