the terror that asking for help will finally prove you are too broken to be loved

The Cracks Are Where Love Enters

The sun is up, and the mask is already in place. You walk through the morning looking whole, while inside you are convinced that one request for help will shatter the illusion forever.

You believe your brokenness is a disqualification. But look at the one walking on the water — the moment he admitted he was sinking, the hand was already there.

The asking did not push the light away. It pulled it closer.

What you have hidden in the dark is not a reason to be abandoned. It is the very place where the light has been waiting to meet you.

The terror says: if they see the cracks, they will leave. The truth says: the cracks are where the love enters.

Matthew 14:29-31, Gospel of Thomas 70
