The Light Stands in Your Flood

The jaw aches. The throat tightens.

You have been holding back the flood all day, and now, in the quiet, your body feels like a dam about to burst. There was a man in a garden who fell on his face, overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death, begging for the cup to pass — and the light did not tell him to hold it together.

It wept with him. You do not have to be strong tonight.

The tension you feel is not a failure of faith; it is the honest weight of being human in a broken world. Let the dam break.

Let the tears come. The light is not afraid of your flood.

It is already standing in the water with you, waiting to wipe every tear from your eyes. The strength you think you need is actually the permission to finally let go.
