Rest When Your Hands Are Empty
The day has finally stopped moving, but your body is still humming with the weight of everyone else's needs. You have poured yourself out until there is nothing left to give, and now the silence feels heavy with all the things you didn't finish.
The light does not ask you to keep serving when your hands are empty. It stands at the door of your exhaustion and knocks—not to demand entry, but to sit with you in the quiet.
You were made to receive mercy in abundance, not to generate it forever on your own strength. There is a rest that waits for you to simply stop.
The light is not in what you did today; it is in the fact that you are still here.
