Your Worth Is Not A Balance
The screen glows in the dark, a cold rectangle showing nothing but a zero that feels like a verdict. You are waiting for money that was promised, money you need to breathe, and every minute it doesn't arrive feels like a rejection of your worth.
The numbers on the screen are not the truth of your life; they are just a temporary shadow cast by a system that forgets you are human. But there is a light within you that came from a place where light generates itself, a source that no bank account can measure and no delay can extinguish.
You did not come from scarcity; you came from the light, and that origin cannot be erased by an empty balance. The darkness of this waiting room cannot overcome the fact that you are already held, already provided for, already whole.
Sit with the uncertainty without letting it define you. The light is not in the deposit; the light is in you, waiting for you to remember it.

Gospel of Thomas, John
