The Light Sees Your Exhaustion
The middle of the day demands a performance you no longer have the strength to give. You smile at a friend, you say the words 'I'm fine,' and the lie feels like a crack opening up inside your chest.
It is exhausting to carry the weight of a hollow heart while the world expects you to be whole. But the light does not need your mask to find you.
It sees the exhaustion behind the eyes that are smiling. There is a peace that does not depend on your ability to pretend.
You can stop performing for the One who knows you are tired. The light is not afraid of your honesty.
