The Light Inside Does Not Flinch
The day has gathered its dark around you, and the house is finally quiet. Then, a voice cuts through the silence—your name, spoken unexpectedly—and your whole body flinches.
You brace for impact before you even know who is speaking. That reflex is not a failure of faith; it is the memory of wounds that taught you to expect danger in every sound.
But listen—the light that lives inside you does not startle. It does not flinch.
It remains steady, a deep and unmoving peace beneath the surface of your skin. The voice that calls you now cannot harm the core of who you are.
You are safe, even when your nerves say otherwise.
