"What If ❓" Series — Episode 21

What if he held his pain like a trophy,
chest out, face hard, too stubborn to whisper the truth his heart already knew?
What if his last breath was wasted on bitterness,
instead of that small soft plea that opened eternity?
Imagine dying beside the Door of heaven,
yet refusing to knock.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is to surrender.
Because pride feels like power,
but it quietly poisons your chance to rise.
There are moments when keeping your guard up
is the reason grace can’t get in.
I’ve learned that confession is not weakness,
it is the key you didn’t know you were holding.
The same mouth that curses can also call for mercy,
and the shift begins when the heart bends.
Your breaking can still become your making,
if you let the One who breaks chains touch the one who breaks rules.
There’s a thin line between regret and redemption,
and it is drawn by a simple request.
REMEMBER ME!!!
Three syllables that turn a cross into a doorway, pain into passage,
and a dying man into a welcomed son.
Sometimes your rise is hidden inside the humility you avoided.
And the moment you choose surrender,
you discover that the fall you feared was actually the flight you needed.
