The Light Waits Inside the Silence
The key turns in the lock, and for a split second, your body braces for a voice that isn't there. The silence that follows is heavy, a weight that settles in the middle of the day when the world is moving and you are standing still.
You flinch because the empty house feels like a verdict. But the light does not depend on who walks through the door.
It was there before the key turned, and it remains after the latch clicks shut. You are not waiting for someone to complete the scene.
The One who said, 'I am with you always,' is already inside, waiting not in the noise but in the quiet. The door opens to an empty room, but you are not alone.
