Known By Undoing

Riddles the Soul Understands Before the Mind Does.

“They saw the version you outgrew. But God saw the one you were shedding toward.”

We are told to define ourselves by arrival: success, achievement, clarity, completion. But what if the sacred work isn’t in arriving— it’s in undoing?

There comes a moment in every soul’s journey where the identity you’ve mastered no longer fits. The roles you carried, the beliefs that once gave you certainty, the habits that once helped you cope… begin to fray.

You’re not falling apart. You’re falling open.

And that’s terrifying. Because the world often only knows how to relate to the you that fit into their narratives. The competent one. The agreeable one. The spiritual one. The strong one. The one who never asked for too much, doubted too loudly, or changed too visibly.

But when that version begins to unravel – some will stare. Some will correct. Some will withdraw.
Because they saw the version you outgrew – not the one you’re shedding toward.

But God sees different. God doesn’t confuse unraveling with failure. He names you, not by your presentation, but by your becoming.

In the undoing, you are not invisible. You are not faithless. You are not behind.

You are becoming honest. Becoming whole. Becoming new. And heaven doesn’t rush that process. It reveres it.

So if you’re in the middle of the undoing – half in, half out, unsure who you are without the mask or the scaffolding – let me say this to you slowly:

Your identity is not in what you’re losing. It’s in what you’re making room for.

And even if no one else understands… you are still known. Still loved. Still on the way home. ❤️
