The Light Remains When Hands Let Go
The house is quiet now, but your hand still remembers the weight that isn't there. You spoke your truth, and in the very next second, you felt the phantom sensation of their hand pulling away from yours.
That cold space between fingers can feel like the whole story. Like you said too much.
Like you are too much. But the darkness has not overcome the light that lives in you.
It was there before the touch, and it is there now in the silence. The Father's love is not a grip that tightens when you speak; it is the steady warmth that remains even when the other person lets go.
You are not defined by the distance they created. You are the light that shines regardless of who is holding on.
The hand that pulled away does not change the fact that you are held by something that never releases.
