You Are the Light That Makes Home
The house is quiet now, and the chair feels less like yours and more like a place you are borrowing. You sit in your own living room feeling like a guest who has stayed too long, waiting for someone to ask you to leave.
But the silence is not holding its breath; it is holding you. The light that shines in the darkness has not overcome it by force, but by simply being present where you are.
You do not need to earn the right to occupy this space tonight. The truth lives in us and will be with us forever—not as a visitor, but as the very foundation of the room.
You are not an intruder in your own life. You are the light that makes the house a home.
