being told by your church that who you love is a sin

Your Heart Is a Home, Not a Courtroom

The sun has set, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. You are told that the love in your heart is a mistake, a stain to be scrubbed away before you can rest.

But listen closely — the light does not speak the language of rejection. There was a woman caught in the act, surrounded by voices demanding her shame, yet the light bent down and wrote in the dust until every accuser walked away.

It did not condemn her. It called her free.

The same light lives inside you, and it knows the name of the one you love better than the critics ever could. God is love, and anyone who lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

Your heart is not a courtroom; it is a home where the divine has already moved in. The verdict you fear was never written in heaven.
