You Are the Light That Survives
The silence you replay at 3am is not the final word on who you are. You hear your own voice agreeing to the thing that broke you, and the shame feels like a stone in your chest.
But the light was there in that moment too — not absent, just buried under the weight of your fear. What you did in the dark does not define the root you grew from.
The kingdom is inside you, waiting to be remembered, not earned by a perfect past. You are not the mistake you cannot undo.
You are the light that survives it.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Luke
