The Crack Where Light Gets Out

The sun is up, but the handle of the bathroom door still feels like the only thing holding the world together. You are terrified that if you turn it, the first sound out of your mouth will crack—revealing the fracture you've spent all night trying to hide.

But listen—the light does not wait for your voice to be steady before it enters the room. It is already there, rising like a tender mercy that shines specifically on those living in the shadow of death.

You do not have to perform wholeness for the dawn to break. The Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom exactly as you are, voice trembling and all.

The crack in your voice is not evidence that you are falling apart; it is the place where the light gets out.
