The Quiet Light That Makes You Holy
The house is still holding its breath. You stand at the sink, turning the handle just enough to coax a thin, silent stream, terrified that a sudden gurgle from the pipes will shatter the quiet and wake the room.
It feels like walking on eggshells in your own home, as if your presence is a disruption waiting to happen. But the light does not wake with a crash; it arrives like this water—quiet, steady, and sufficient for the task at hand.
You are not an intrusion in the morning; you are the first movement of the day being made holy. The Father's love is not a trumpet blast that demands attention; it is the gentle flow that cleans the cup without shaking the foundation.
This small, careful act is not hiding; it is tending. The sun is rising outside whether the house knows it or not, and the same light is rising inside you, silent and sure.
