The words you won’t say out loud

 The words you won’t say out loud,

the thoughts you wish you could take back,
the moments that still sit heavy
in your chest—

He sees all of it.

And still—

He does not turn away.

We think we have to come to Him
polished.

Put together.

Fixed.

But He is not asking for perfection.

He is asking for honesty.

If you would just come clean—
not with excuses,
not with hiding,
not with half-truths—

but with a heart that says
“I did this…
and I need You”—

you will not be met with shame.

You will be met with Him.

Faithful.

Not sometimes.
Not when you’ve earned it.
Not when you’ve done enough good
to balance the scale—

but faithful.

And just.

Not overlooking your sin
as if it didn’t matter—

but covering it
with something greater.

Forgiveness
that does not run out.

Mercy
that does not keep score.

A cleansing
so deep
it reaches places
you thought would always stay stained.

You are not too far gone.

You are not too much.

There is no part of you
He cannot wash clean.

So bring it.

All of it.

The guilt,
the regret,
the things you’ve carried
far too long—

and lay them down.

Because the God who sees you fully
is the same God
who promises
to forgive you completely.
