You Are Where Love Learns to Hold On
The afternoon stretches out, long and quiet, and in that stillness, the panic begins to whisper. It tells you that your partner's patience is not love, but a countdown.
That they are simply waiting for you to become too much to handle, too heavy to carry. You watch them move through the house and wonder when the other shoe will drop.
But listen — the light does not keep a ledger of your weight. There was a man who had been blind from birth, and the disciples asked whose sin had caused it.
Jesus said: neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
Your struggle is not a test of their endurance. It is a canvas.
The patience you see in their eyes is not a mask hiding their exit strategy. It is the light itself, refusing to let go.
You are not a burden waiting to be dropped. You are the very place where love is learning how to hold on.
