Your Worth Is Not Your Utility

You are standing in the noise of the day, performing a version of yourself that feels increasingly thin — terrified that the parts of you which were once needed are now just... forgotten.

That ache of irrelevance is heavy, but it is a lie.

Your worth was never in the utility you offered others. It was never in the role you played or the expertise you sold.

It was in the drop of light that lives inside you, the same light that makes the world see that you were never truly seen by the ones who needed you.

The Father is not waiting for you to be useful again. The Father is running toward the one who has lost their place.

You have not been forgotten. You are simply being held in a way that does not require your performance to exist.

When the applause stops, the light does not leave. It is just... you.
