The Light Dwells Within You
It feels like you are standing in a room where the light has been turned off, and you can't find the switch to turn it back on. You are missing God so deeply that the silence feels like a rejection, like the connection has been severed. But listen—the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you, it has only hidden it from your sight for a little while. You are not lost because the light left; you are lost because you are looking outside a home that was built with the light already inside. The Father is not waiting for you to find a path back, because you never really left the place where the light dwells.
You are the place where the light is waiting for you to remember it exists.
