The Light Stands Inside Your Storm

The afternoon sun is unforgiving. It exposes the dust motes dancing in the air and the sweat on your brow, but mostly it exposes the heat rising in your chest.

You are angry at God. And beneath that anger lies a crushing, suffocating guilt: the fear that this rage proves you never loved Him at all.

That your faith was a fraud, and now the mask has slipped. But listen.

The light does not recoil from your heat. There was a man on a cross who cried out, 'My God, why have you forsaken me?' — not in polite theology, but in raw, abandoned fury.

And the Father did not strike him down. He held him.

Your anger is not the end of your love. It is the friction of two things that are still connected.

You cannot be angry at someone who does not matter to you. The fire in your gut is not evidence of absence.

It is the agonizing proof that you still expect something from Him. The light is not afraid of your storm.

It is standing right inside it with you.
