The Dawn Hears Your Silent Words
The sun is up, but the words you choked on last night are still stuck in your throat. You rehearsed the conversation in the dark—the apology, the boundary, the truth—and now the house is quiet, and no one is there to hear them.
It feels like shouting into a void. Like the light arrived, but missed the part of you that needs to speak.
But listen: the Father sees what is done in secret. He knows the speech you practiced when the world was asleep.
You do not need an audience to be heard by the light. The dawn is not waiting for you to perform.
It is simply rising, indifferent to your silence, yet full of mercy for your struggle. The words are not lost; they are just waiting for the right moment to breathe.
Speak them to the morning. The light is already listening.
Drawing from
Matthew, Gospel of Thomas
