The Silence Where You Are Held
The dawn is breaking, and the silence in your hand feels heavier than the night. You reach for the phone, expecting a name that hasn't appeared in months, only to find the screen dark.
That phantom vibration is not a ghost; it is the echo of a hope that refuses to die, even when the world goes quiet. But the light does not wait for a notification to arrive; it is already here, rising with the sun, independent of any human signal.
You are not defined by who calls you, but by the fact that you are known by the One who spoke the world into being. The silence is not an absence; it is a space where you can finally hear the truth that has been whispering all along: you are held, even when no one rings.
