Held in the Hesitation Before You Click

The afternoon stretches out, a long, flat road where the mind wanders to the one place it promised not to go. You type the name.

Just to check. Just to see if the picture has changed, if the smile is different, if they look like someone who forgot you.

But you close the tab before the page loads — a reflex born of fear that the answer will break what little silence you have left. In this weary middle of the day, when the routine feels endless and the heart feels heavy, remember that the light is not hiding in the pixels you are too afraid to see.

It is right here, in the trembling finger that hovers over the mouse, in the quiet room where no one else knows you are fighting this battle. The Father's love is expressed as light, and that same light that lived in Jesus is already inside you — not waiting for you to be strong enough to look, but holding you while you are too weak to try.

You do not have to know their status to know your own worth. You are held in the middle of the hesitation.
