You Did Not Lose the Light Tonight

The house is quiet now, but the silence feels heavy with the words you spoke tonight. You told the truth about who you are, and the people who were supposed to love you most walked away.

It feels like you have lost everything. But listen — the light did not leave with them.

When you stood there, trembling and alone, you were not abandoned. You were stepping into a truth so bright it forced the darkness to reveal itself.

There is a man in the scriptures who was born blind, and everyone assumed his condition was a punishment. But the light said no — this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Your pain is not a verdict. It is a canvas.

The family you knew may be gone, but the family you are becoming is being built on something that cannot be shaken. You did not lose the light tonight.

You became a mirror for it.
