Stop Hiding Your Weight
You are doing the math right now, aren't you? Calculating exactly how much of your ache you can show before the people around you decide you are too heavy to carry.
You trim your words. You swallow the tears.
You make yourself small so you won't be dropped. But the light does not do weight limits.
It saw you under the fig tree before you ever said a word. It knows the calculation you are making, and it is not impressed by your silence.
You are not a burden to be managed. You are a person to be held.
The hands that hold you are not tired. They are strong enough for the whole truth.
Stop hiding the weight. Let them carry it.
Drawing from
John 1:48, Gospel of Thomas 77
