The Light Waits in Your Quiet Depth
The sun has gone down, and the house is quiet enough for the mask to feel heavy on your face. You are terrified that if you finally let it drop, there will be nothing underneath worth seeing—just a hollow space where a person should be.
But the light does not need a performance to love you. It sees what is done in secret, in the dark room where no audience watches, and it calls that hidden place holy.
There is no vacuum inside you, only a depth you have been too afraid to visit. The light is already there, waiting in the quiet, not for your face but for your presence.
You do not have to be full to be held.

Matthew 6:4, Matthew 6:6
