The Light Works in Your Silence
The words are ready in your throat, heavy and true, but the silence holds them back. You rehearse the confession in the dark, knowing the sun will rise and the mask will stay on.
There was a man born blind, and the question on everyone's lips was who had sinned to cause such darkness. But the light refused the blame.
It said the condition existed so the works of God might be displayed in him. Your inability to speak is not a failure of courage.
It is the space where the light is already working, unseen. The kingdom is inside you, and it is outside you, waiting for the moment you know yourself.
You do not need to force the door open with words that aren't ready. The truth is already known, even in the silence.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 3, John 9:1-7
