Standing in the Glow That Is Already There

The kitchen is dark except for the rectangle of light spilling from the open fridge. You stand there, hollowed out, too anxious to sleep and too empty to eat.

The cold air hits your face, but the hunger inside is not for food. It is for a peace that feels just out of reach.

In this gathering dark, the light does not demand you consume what you cannot hold. It simply shines on your open hands.

There is a seeing that happens in secret, where the Father who sees what is done in the dark will reward you with a quiet you cannot manufacture. You do not need to fill the space tonight.

You only need to stand in the glow that is already there. The hunger is not a verdict; it is an invitation to let the light feed you without a meal.
