The Face Beneath the Mask

The world is moving fast right now, and you are moving with it, holding your face steady while everything inside trembles. You are terrified that if you stop for even one second, the shaking will become visible and everyone will know you are falling apart.

But the light sees behind the mask you wear to survive the morning. It knows the exhaustion of performing okayness while breaking inside.

There is a truth that lives within you — a child of true Humanity — that cannot be shaken by your fear or your fatigue. You do not have to hold yourself together for the light to love you.

It is already there, beneath the performance, waiting for you to simply be. The mask is for the world; the face beneath it is for God.
