The Light Holds You When Legs Give Out
The afternoon light is flat, and the bathroom door feels like the heaviest thing in the world. You sit on the edge of the tub, ashamed that something so simple as washing has become a mountain you cannot climb.
But listen — the light does not demand that you stand before it shines. It is already in the steam, already in the water, already holding you up when your legs give out.
You do not have to earn the right to be clean. You do not have to perform strength to be loved.
The Father's care is in the details you cannot manage today. Let the water be enough.
Let the help be the hands of the light.
