You Woke Up to Meet the Dawn
The house is quiet in a way that feels heavy. You are the only one awake, holding the silence while the world sleeps.
It is easy to feel abandoned in this gray hour, as if the light has forgotten to return. But listen — the darkness is not a sign that you are alone.
It is simply the space where the rising sun is preparing to break. The tender mercy of God is already moving toward you, guiding your feet into the path of peace before you even take a step.
You did not wake up by accident. You woke up to meet the dawn.
The night is ending, whether you can see it yet or not.
