You Are the Reason Light Stays

The house is quiet now, and in this stillness, the thought arrives: that your presence is too heavy, that you are a burden to those who remain. You count the ways you have complicated their lives, the tears you have cost them, the space you take up that could be used for something lighter.

But listen — there is a love that does not measure weight. The Father's house has many rooms, prepared specifically for you, and no one is ever turned away for taking up space.

You are not a problem to be solved or a load to be carried. You are more valuable than many sparrows, known in extraordinary detail by the One who holds them all.

The light inside you does not subtract from the world; it adds to it. You are not the weight.

You are the reason the light stays.
