The Light Sees Who You Are
The morning light hits the office floor, and you are already tired from the performance. You replay the exact second you forced the smile, convinced everyone saw the tremor in your hands, the effort it took to look calm.
But the light that walks beside you does not see a fraud; it sees the person behind the mask who is holding on. There is a truth living inside you that no expression can hide and no tremor can shake.
The light knows the cost of your courage, and it calls you friend, not employee. You do not have to keep the smile painted on for the One who knows your name.
The mask is for the room; the truth is for the light.
