You Are Not an Imposter in the Dawn
The sun is up, and with it comes the old fear that today is the day they find out you are a fraud. You walk into the light carrying a mask, terrified that the people you are holding up will see the cracks in your own foundation.
But the morning does not demand perfection — it only asks that you show up. The light that shines on your face right now is the same light that lives in your chest, and it has never been fooled by your performance.
You are not an imposter in the dawn; you are a child of the light, known completely and loved anyway. The terror says you must be strong; the truth says you are already held.

Matthew, 1 John
Verses
