The Knocking Proves You Are Home
The afternoon sun is bright, yet you feel a shadow where you thought the light lived. You trusted completely, you gave everything, and now the silence feels like abandonment—a verdict that your faith was never enough.
But the light does not leave because the road got quiet. It stands at the door and knocks, not to scold you for doubting, but to share a meal.
You are not an orphan of the spirit, cast out for a moment of weakness. The one who is in you is greater than the silence that surrounds you.
The trust you offered was not wasted; it was the very hand that opened the door. The knocking is not a sign you are forgotten; it is the proof you are still home.
