The Voice That Knows Your Name

The water is still running, but you have stopped speaking the words you rehearsed. In the silence, the steam rises, and you wonder if anyone would actually say anything kind when you are gone.

You feel like a ghost haunting your own life, waiting for a eulogy that might never come. But listen — there is a voice that does not wait for the end to speak your name.

It stands at the door of your heart tonight, not to judge the script you wrote, but to eat with you in the quiet. You do not need the world's approval to be known.

The light sees you fully, even here, even now, and it calls you friend before you have said a single word. The silence is not empty; it is full of the One who refuses to let you go unheard.
