The Light Sees Your Exhausted Silence

The question comes across the table—'What do you want?'—and your mouth moves before your soul catches up. You say, 'Anything is fine,' with a smile that feels like paper stretched over a void.

You are a ghost haunting your own body, watching yourself perform the role of someone who is okay. But the light does not need your performance.

It sees the mask, and it sees the exhaustion behind the eyes. Jesus once sighed deeply before speaking healing into a man who could not hear or speak clearly.

That sigh was not frustration; it was the sound of God feeling the weight of your silence. He knows what it costs to pretend you can hear the world when your spirit is miles away.

You do not have to keep the act up for the light. It already knows the truth, and it is not leaving because you are tired.

The mask is heavy, but you were made for rest, not routine. Let the smile drop.

The light sees you, even in the silence.
