The Light Loves the One Hiding
The morning asks for a smile, so you rehearse the words until they sound like truth. You say you are grateful, over and over, trying to convince the room that your heart is not hollow.
But the light does not need your performance to know what is real. It sees the mask you wear to prove you are okay, and it loves the person hiding behind it.
There is a tenderness that waits for you to stop acting. You do not have to manufacture a feeling to be held by the One who knows you completely.
The hollow space in your chest is not a failure of faith — it is simply where the light is waiting to enter.
