The Lamp Lit Just To Find You

The day is ending, and the armor you wore to get through it finally feels heavy enough to take off. You worry that the quiet fractures inside you—the shame you hid, the mistakes you made—make you less worthy of being loved.

But look at how the light treats the broken things it finds. There was a woman who lost a single coin in the dark, and she did not scold the coin for being lost.

She lit a lamp. She swept the entire house.

She searched carefully until she found it. And when she did, she called her friends to rejoice.

The light does not love you less because you are fractured. It loves you enough to light the whole room just to find you.

Your hidden struggles do not disqualify you from the feast. They are exactly why the lamp was lit.
