Exhaustion from Pretending

“He loves the real you, not the rehearsed one. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.”

“Open John 1:47 slowly tonight. Read it as if it were a letter sent across centuries to find you, on this very page, in this very ache.”

“St. Thérèse of Lisieux knew this ground by name. They are not far from you. Their prayer, on the other side of glory, is praying you forward.”

“You do not have to resolve exhaustion from pretending tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.”
