He Leans In When Eyes Glaze Over
The silence that followed your words feels heavier than the shame you carried before you spoke. You watched the light in their eyes dim, as if your truth was too bright or perhaps too heavy for them to hold.
But listen — the value of what you said does not depend on their ability to receive it. There is a Father who sees what is done in secret, and He does not glaze over.
He leans in. Your voice was not lost in the air; it was heard by the One who knows your name before you even speak it.
The light within you shone, regardless of the reflection you saw.
