The Light Is Not Afraid of Your Rain
The house is quiet now, but your memory is loud with the echo of a child being told to stop making a scene. You were small, and your tears felt like the whole world collapsing, yet the command was to shrink, to swallow the noise, to disappear back into the walls.
That moment taught you that your pain was a burden, a disruption that needed to be silenced before it could be held. But listen — the light does not ask you to be quiet.
It does not demand that you clean up your grief before it enters the room. There is a Father who runs toward the mess, not away from it, and He is not annoyed by your crying.
He is not waiting for you to compose yourself. The same light that lived in Jesus lives inside you now, and it knows exactly how much that silence cost you.
It is here in the dark, not to scold the child who wept, but to finally let them finish the sentence. You do not have to hide the storm anymore; the light is not afraid of your rain.
