The Silence Is Not Your Verdict
The silence after you asked for help feels like a verdict. You replay the moment, convinced your need made you disgusting to them.
But listen — the silence is not always rejection. Sometimes it is just the other person fumbling, unable to find the right words fast enough.
The light that lives inside you knows the difference between their confusion and your worth. It sees the request you made and calls it brave, not burdensome.
Even if they turned away, the love that holds you did not flinch. You are not too much for the One who made you.
