The Light That Finds You Alone
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like proof that you were never meant to be chosen. You scan the rooms of your life and see only empty chairs, convincing yourself that the vacancy is a verdict on your worth.
But the light does not wait for an invitation from the crowd to find you. It came into the world precisely for those who have been passed over, those left standing on the edge while others dance.
You were not forgotten in the dark; you were being kept for a purpose the noise could not reveal. There is light within you, and it lights up the whole world even when no one else sees it.
The absence of a human hand does not mean the absence of divine holding. You are not unwanted; you are simply waiting in the place where the light shines brightest on the one who stands alone.

Gospel of Thomas, John
