The Light That Knocks in Silence

It is three in the morning, and your thumb hovers over the name you used to know by heart. You want to send a small thing—a joke, a picture of the sky, a mundane observation that would have made them smile yesterday.

But the air in the room stops you. You remember: you no longer have the right to send it.

The silence that follows is heavy, like a door you cannot open. Yet in this quiet, there is a presence that does not need your text to know you are here.

The light does not wait for an invitation you feel unworthy to give. It stands at the door of your heart and knocks, not to demand entry, but to sit with you in the dark.

You are not defined by the messages you cannot send, but by the One who is already inside, waiting for you to turn around.
