The Light Does Not Sneak Away

The house is quiet now, and the dark feels less like a blanket and more like an empty room. You are scanning the corners of your mind, terrified that while you were busy surviving the day, the light quietly slipped out the back door.

But listen — the light does not sneak away from those it loves. Jesus said, 'I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.' He did not say he would visit when you were strong, but that he would come to you right here.

Even if your eyes are too tired to see it, the darkness has not overcome it. The silence you feel is not an absence; it is the space where the light is waiting for you to stop searching and simply breathe.

You are not alone in the gathering dark; you are held by the very thing you fear has left.
