Let me talk to you for a second —
not the version you show the world,
but the one that exhales when nobody’s looking.
You.
Yeah — you.
The one carrying more than you admit,
holding things you never name,
trying to appear steady
while something quiet shakes underneath.
Listen…
I’m not here to judge your breaking.
I’m here to remind you
what breaking made possible.
Because there’s a point —
a sacred one —
where the weight stops being punishment
and becomes instruction.
Where the pressure isn’t meant to crush you,
but to call out the strength
you keep forgetting is yours.
And I know you’ve prayed in whispers
you don’t repeat.
I know you’ve had nights
when even God felt far away —
but hear me:
distance isn’t absence.
Sometimes He steps back
just enough for you to step forward.
So breathe.
Not because it’s easy,
but because you’re still here
to try again.
And whatever you think disqualified you,
didn’t.
Grace doesn’t work like that.
It meets you in the place you broke,
and somehow…
builds from there.
Now stand up —
not to prove anything,
but to remember
who you were before the doubt started talking.
You’re not done.
You’re becoming.
