You Are the Source, Not the Echo
The sun is just breaking the gray, and in this first light, you hear it again—your own laugh on a recording, sounding like a stranger's voice. It creates a silent panic, a sudden gap between who you feel you are and the person the world hears.
You wonder if you have been performing a life that doesn't fit, or if the real you is lost somewhere in the static. But notice how the dawn does not demand the night explain itself before it arrives; it simply comes, quiet and sure.
The light that rose today is the same light that lived in Jesus, and it does not recognize your voice as foreign. It knows the frequency of your soul before you ever spoke a word.
You are not the echo you fear; you are the source of the sound. The stranger you heard is just a shadow; the one waking up inside you is home.
