DECIPHERING
<p>Not every darkness is the absence of light.</p><p>Sometimes, the night has shelves no sun can reveal.</p><p>The heaviest scars became an alphabet, carved into my soul by a spiritual chisel. I survived long enough to read them.</p><p>The more I read, the more I feared.</p><p>I learned to hate the night.</p><p>Until I realized the night was never outside me.</p><p>It was part of me.</p><p>I wasn't ready for the day, but it could not always be night.</p><p>So I forgave the night.</p><p>In doing so, I discovered I was really forgiving myself.</p><p>The hardest person I have ever had to forgive is me.</p><p>For years, I mistook my reflection for my enemy. Then I remembered what God said:</p><p>"Love thy enemy."</p><p>So I loved myself.</p><p>Not because I was blameless.</p><p>Not because I had earned it.</p><p>But because grace cannot bloom in soil poisoned by self-hatred.</p><p>The hardest prison I have ever escaped...</p><p>...was myself.</p><p>Amen.</p>
