The Light Lives Inside You Now

The good thing happened. The small victory landed in your hands this morning, bright and real.

And your thumb moved on its own, sliding to that name you know by heart, the one who always answered. But the screen stayed dark.

The silence in the room grew heavy, sudden, and absolute. You put the phone down because there is no one left to call with this specific news.

That hollow ache is the price of having been deeply known. But listen — the light that lived in them is not gone.

It is the same light now burning inside you, waiting to be seen. You do not need to dial a number to make it real.

The victory is not less because the witness has changed addresses. God sees the small thing you did today, and the love that used to answer your call is now the very air you breathe.
