feeling unseen by the person who is supposed to see you

Seen Before the Foundation of the World

The sun is rising, and you made it through another night where you felt invisible to the one who promised to see you. You are carrying the weight of being unknown in your own home, unseen by the eyes that should know you best.

But while you were still a long way off, before you could speak or fix yourself, love saw you and ran. You are not hidden.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world, and it shines on you right now, whether they notice or not. You are seen by the One who called you by name before the foundation of the world.

You do not need their sight to be real; you are already held in a gaze that never blinks.
