The Light Already Lives Inside You
The afternoon sun is high, and the shadows are short, but inside you, the doubt feels like a long, dark tunnel. You are convinced that your brokenness is a barrier—that you must be fixed before you can be held, repaired before you are worthy of love.
But the light does not wait for your renovation. It enters the middle of your mess, not as an inspector checking for flaws, but as a resident who has already signed the lease.
The Good came into your midst to the essence of every nature, not to scold the cracks, but to restore you to your root. You are not a project to be completed.
You are a home where the light already lives. The door is not locked from the outside; it is open, and the table is set for you exactly as you are.
