The Light Walks Into Your Storm
The house is quiet now, but inside you, the storm is screaming. You are holding your breath, terrified that if you finally let the rage out, the Light will turn its face away and leave you in the dark forever.
But listen — the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Not your anger.
Not your screaming. Not the parts of you that feel like breaking everything.
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all, which means your shadow cannot extinguish him. He is not afraid of your fire.
He is not waiting for you to be polite before he stays. The light does not flee the storm; it walks right into it.
You can rage until your voice gives out, and the Father will still be there, holding the space where your anger lands. The silence you fear is not his absence; it is his patience, waiting for you to stop performing and finally be real.
