The Light Has Already Made Its Home
The house is quiet, and the fear whispers that your stillness is a weight no one can carry forever. That if you do not change, if you do not fix this broken part, everyone will eventually walk away.
But listen — the light does not run from what it finds inside you. It was there before the fear arrived, and it remains now, unshaken.
There is no fear in love, because the perfect love that holds you has already driven the terror out. You are not a project to be completed so you can be kept.
You are the place where the light lives. The darkness says you must earn your stay.
The light says it has already made its home.
