Standing in Christ — fully, without reservation — means the same light that makes your reflection visible to the world makes everything inside you visible to you. The cracks you have learned to work around. The smudges you have grown so accustomed to that you no longer notice them. The covering you have kept so carefully in place that you have almost forgotten it is there. This is the moment people want to step back. But here is the truth that changes everything: the exposure is not the danger. It is the cure. The same light that exposes is the light that heals. Stay in the light. The Spirit is already at work.
