The Truth Is Already Standing Beside You
The mirror is a cold audience for the performance you are rehearsing. You practice the lie until your mouth remembers the shape of it, hoping it will fit better than the truth.
But the light does not need your script. It saw you in the bathroom before the words were formed.
It knows the panic behind the eyes that are trying so hard to look normal. You do not have to carry the weight of the mask out the door.
The One who sees what is done in secret is not waiting to expose you, but to meet you in the quiet where nothing is hidden. You can put the performance down.
The truth is already standing beside you, gentle and unhurried, asking only for your real face.

Matthew 6:4, Matthew 6:6
