The Light Loves Your Cracked Voice
The room is so quiet that your own voice sounds like a stranger's. You are afraid to say your name out loud because you know the crack will come.
The break will be heard. It will prove you are still falling apart.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you. It cannot.
Even a shattered voice carries the same truth as a steady one. The light does not need you to be whole to hear you.
It was there before the crack, and it is there in the silence after. You do not have to hold yourself together for this hour to pass.
The One who knows your secret name is listening to the breaking, not the performance. Say it.
Let it crack. The light loves the sound of your real voice more than your perfect one.
