Holy Ground Beneath the Ruins
The smile has finally dropped, and now the wreckage is visible in the quiet. It feels like if anyone saw this, they would turn away.
But listen — the darkness you are staring into right now has not overcome the light. It cannot.
The light was there before the mask went on, and it is still here beneath the ruins. You do not have to hold it together for God.
The Father sees the cracks and calls them holy ground. The terror says you are exposed.
The truth says you are finally known. In this deepest hour, the wreckage is not the end of you; it is the place where the light gets in.
