the secret fear that if you ever admit how exhausted you are, the people who claim to love you will lose respect for you and walk away

The Light Runs Toward Your Brokenness

This hour is heavy. The silence feels like a test you are failing because you cannot hold the weight alone anymore.

You are afraid that if you finally say how tired you are, the people who claim to love you will turn and walk away. But look at the one who loved you first.

He did not wait for you to be strong. He ran to you while you were still broken.

The light does not lose respect for your exhaustion; it runs toward it. It kneels to wash the dust from your feet.

You do not have to perform strength to be held. The truth is already known.

You are safe even when you fall apart.
