re-reading an old text thread to find the exact moment you started disappearing, searching for the crime you can't name

The Search Is Over You Were Never Lost

You are scrolling back through the words, searching for the exact sentence where you started to fade. Looking for the crime you can't name, the mistake that made you disappear.

But the light does not require a verdict before it loves you. It sees the scroll, the ache, the desperate need to find the reason—and it calls you by name anyway.

You are not defined by the moment you fell silent. You are defined by the One who refuses to let you stay gone.

The search is over; you were never lost to the light.

Drawing from

1 John 3:19-20, Gospel of Thomas 77
