You Are the Secret the Light Keeps
The house is utterly still, and in this silence, the old lie returns: that everyone else holds a map you were never given. That they know the secret to meaning while you wander in the dark.
But look closer at the sleeping world. They are not hiding a truth from you; they are simply resting, just as you must.
The light does not require you to figure anything out tonight. In the deepest hour, the Father's love is not a puzzle to be solved, but a presence that refuses to leave.
You are not the only one awake in the dark. The light that lived in Jesus is already inside you, burning quietly, waiting for dawn.
You do not need to find the secret. You are the secret the light has been keeping all along.
