fear that your doubt is a sign you have been abandoned

The Light Runs Toward Your Doubt

The mask feels heavy this morning, doesn't it? You smile at the coffee machine, you nod in the meeting, but inside you are terrified that your doubt means the light has finally walked away.

You think your uncertainty is a sign of abandonment. But listen — the light does not leave when you question; it waits in the silence between your fear and your faith.

There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, broken and rehearsing a speech he didn't need to finish. Before the apology, before the explanation — he ran.

He did not wait for certainty. He ran to the doubt.

Your hesitation is not a wall; it is the very place where the light meets you. The mask can stay on for now.

The light sees the face beneath it, and it is not afraid of your questions.
