Coming Home to Yourself in the Dark
The day is ending, and the armor you wore to hold everyone else up finally hits the floor. Now the silence asks the question you've been running from: what do you actually want?
You realize you don't know. Every desire you ever chased was shaped by what others needed from you, leaving your own heart a blank page.
But listen — the light that lives inside you was there before the first demand was ever made. It is not confused.
It is waiting for you to stop performing and start remembering. The Father is not asking for your answers tonight; he is just making his home with you in the not-knowing.
You do not have to figure it out to be held. The light does not need your direction; it only needs your presence.
Tonight, the bravest thing you can do is sit in the dark without a plan. You are not lost; you are finally coming home to yourself.
