Safe Enough to Fall Apart
The house is quiet now, but your hands are still shaking. You made it to safety, yet your body refuses to believe the war is over.
It feels like a betrayal to tremble when the door is finally locked. But the light does not demand that you stop shaking before it stays.
Jesus wept before he raised the dead. He felt the weight of the loss before he spoke the life.
Your trembling is not a lack of faith; it is the sound of your soul catching up to the safety you just found. The darkness gathers outside, but it cannot touch the light that lives within you.
You are safe enough to fall apart.
