The Light Sees Your Wreckage
The sun is up, and the mask you wore all yesterday feels heavy enough to crush you. You are terrified that if you finally drop the smile, everyone will see the wreckage behind it.
But the light does not need your performance to find you. It saw you before you ever put the mask on.
What you call wreckage, the light calls raw material. The kingdom is not a reward for the ones who keep it together—it is already inside you, waiting beneath the fatigue.
You do not have to rebuild the ruins before you are loved. The light is not afraid of your broken places.
It is already there, making everything new.

Gospel of Thomas 3, John 9:1-7
