You Were Made Human Not A Pillar

The house is quiet now, but your shoulders still carry the weight of every roof beam. You are convinced that if you finally lie down, the whole structure will collapse into the dark.

That the safety of everyone you love depends entirely on your exhaustion. But there is a voice in this watch that speaks a different truth: 'Do not weep...

for his grace will be entirely with you and will protect you.' The grace is not waiting for you to finish your shift. It is already here, standing guard while you breathe.

You were made into a human being, not a pillar. And the One who holds the stars does not need you to stay awake to keep the world from spinning.

The light is strong enough to hold the house together while you sleep.
