The Light Waits in Your Silence
The cursor blinks in the middle of the sentence, waiting for a courage that does not arrive. You type the truth, then backspace it away, until the screen is blank and the room is quiet again.
The unsaid words hang in the air between your fingers and the keyboard, heavy as stone. But the light does not need your message to know what is in your heart.
It was already there before you typed the first letter, and it remains after you delete the last. You do not have to send the confession to be held.
The silence you are sitting in is not empty; it is full of a presence that hears the words you never spoke.
Drawing from
Psalm 139:23-24, Romans 8:26
