The Light That Carries You Home
In the middle of the day, when you feel like a weight dragging down the people you love, remember that the light inside you does not add to the burden—it is the very thing holding you up. There was a father who saw his son coming home, still a long way off, covered in shame and exhaustion—and he ran.
He did not wait for the apology; he did not weigh the cost of the embrace. The light is that father.
It does not see you as a burden to be tolerated. It sees you as the one it was sent to find.
Even when you feel heavy, you are being carried. The one who is in you is greater than the guilt telling you otherwise.
