The Light Runs Into Your Fury
The house is quiet now, but the noise in your head is loud with anger. You are angry at the One you thought loved you, and that anger tastes like shame.
You feel guilty for the heat rising in your chest, as if your doubt has pushed you too far away to ever come back. But listen — the light does not flinch when you shout.
It does not run from your fury or demand that you calm down before it will stay. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, covered in the filth of his own choices.
He did not wait for the apology. He did not wait for the speech.
He ran. The light is already running toward you, not away from your anger but right into the middle of it.
Your rage cannot break what God has already held together. The anger is just the sound of you caring enough to still be fighting.
You are not losing the light by being honest about the dark. The fight is not the end of the story; it is the proof you are still in the room.
