Rest When You Have No Words Left
The day has ended, and the silence you carry feels heavy enough to be mistaken for coldness. You worry that your stillness looks like you don't care, when in truth, you have simply run out of the strength to perform.
But the light knows the difference between a closed heart and an exhausted one. It saw Peter sink beneath the waves and reached out immediately, not because Peter was strong, but because he was drowning.
Your silence is not a rejection of the world; it is the honest sound of a soul that has given everything it had to give. The light does not demand you speak when you have no words left.
It sits with you in the quiet and calls it rest. You are not failing your loved ones by being still; you are finally letting yourself be held.
Drawing from
Mark 2:5, Matthew 14:29-31
