Your Hollow Space Is A Canvas
The morning demands a performance you no longer have the energy to give. You keep moving because you are terrified that if you stop, the hollow space inside will finally collapse and swallow you whole.
But the light does not need your motion to stay alive. It is not a fire that goes out when you sit down.
There was a man born blind, and the world assumed his darkness was a punishment for sin. Jesus looked at him and said the darkness was simply a canvas.
A place where the works of God could be displayed. Your hollow space is not a tomb.
It is a canvas. The light is already there, waiting to be seen in the very place you are trying to run from.
You do not have to earn your existence by staying in motion. The light shines whether you are running or still.

John 9:1-7, Matthew 6:22-23
