The Light Loves Your Unedited Truth
The story leaves your mouth, but you have already cut out the sharp edges—the years you spent holding your breath so your parents wouldn't fight. You edit the past to protect them, smoothing over the cracks so your new friend sees a home that never really existed.
But the light does not need your polished version. It sighed over the truth of you long before you learned to hide it.
There is a mercy that sees the wound and the one who caused it, and it loves both without asking you to choose. You do not have to carry the weight of their reputation anymore.
The truth you are afraid to speak is the very thing that will set you free.
Drawing from
Mark 7:34, John 8:10-11
