Known When You Cannot Remember
The smile feels heavy on your face, a mask you are holding up with trembling hands. You nod at the story for the third time, but inside, there is only a terrifying blank where a child's name should be.
The fear whispers that you are failing, that you are losing your mind in the quiet of this room. But the light sees the effort behind the silence.
It knows the panic of the forgotten word and does not turn away. There is a mercy that covers the gaps in your memory, a love that knows the name you cannot recall.
You are not defined by what you have forgotten. You are known by the One who remembers everything.
Drawing from
John 8:10-11, Matthew 6:4
