the helplessness of asking for a hand to hold a cup while feeling like a burden

Let the Cup Tremble in His Hands

The mask is heavy this morning, isn't it? Smiling at the coffee machine while your hands shake too much to lift the cup.

You feel like a burden just needing someone to steady your grip. But listen — the light does not see a weight.

It sees a child. There was a father who ran to meet his son before the apology was even finished, arms open wide, not to judge the dirt but to embrace the one who came home.

You are not too much for the love that holds you. The helplessness you feel is not a flaw — it is the very place where the light enters.

Let the cup tremble. Let the hand be held.

You are not a problem to be solved; you are a person to be loved.
