The Light Already Burning in Your Chest

The house is quiet now, and your hand moves on its own. It reaches for the pocket where the phone used to be, searching for a screen that isn't there, a light that has gone dark.

That reflex is not a mistake; it is the shape of a hunger that knows it needs to be fed, even if it reaches for the wrong bowl. You are looking for a connection to remind you that you are not alone in this watch.

But the silence you feel right now is not an absence. It is the space where the true light lives.

The Father's light was already inside you before you ever held a device, and it remains when the battery dies. You do not need to reach out to find it.

It is the very thing reaching for you in the dark. The habit of your hand is old, but the presence holding you is older.

Put your hand down. The light you were searching for is already burning in your chest.
