The Light Does Not Require Your Belief
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to break you. You are lying here terrified that your doubt is a wall, pushing away the very love you are desperate to feel.
But listen — the light does not require your belief to shine; it only requires your presence. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, broken and unsure, and he ran before the apology was even spoken.
He did not wait for the speech to be perfect. He ran.
Your inability to believe is not a rejection; it is simply the dark room where the light is learning to be seen. The love you fear you have pushed away is actually standing at your door, knocking gently, waiting for you to simply stop fighting.
You do not have to fix your faith tonight. You just have to let the love sit with you in the dark.
