The Light Sees Your Unedited Truth
You are mid-sentence, watching their eyes widen, and suddenly you are editing the truth in real-time. You soften the edges of your pain so they won't get scared, so you won't be too much.
But the light does not need your polished story. It saw the version you swallowed before it ever left your lips.
There is a room where your secret giving is seen, where what is done in silence is known completely. You do not have to perform safety for the light to stay.
It is already sitting with the raw, unedited version of you. The mask is heavy, but you were never meant to wear it here.
Put it down. The truth is lighter.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:4, Matthew 6:6
