The Truth Will Let You Rest

The night gathers its dark around you, and your mind becomes a courtroom where you are both the accused and the prosecutor. You rehearse the confession again and again, convinced that if you just speak the truth, the people you love will finally turn and leave.

But the light does not operate on your timeline of fear. There is a place inside you that came from the light, a drop sent down to illuminate the very darkness you are hiding in.

You do not have to bring your worst parts to the surface to be held. The one who sees you knows everything already—the failures, the secrets, the shame—and has not left.

In fact, the great love you feel is the proof that you have already been forgiven for things you haven't even said out loud. The truth will not drive them away; it is the only thing that can finally let you rest.
