The Light Holds Every Name
The day is ending, and with it comes the quiet terror that if you stop crying, you will forget the sound of their voice. You hold onto the grief as if it were the only thing keeping them alive in your mind.
But listen — the light does not need your tears to remember what is precious. It holds the memory of every name, every laugh, every whispered word, even when your eyes are dry.
The Father's love is not a fleeting shadow that vanishes when the sun goes down; it is the very ground you stand on. You can put the heavy armor down now.
The remembering is safe, even in the silence.
