The Sunrise Arrives Whether You Are Ready

The morning light hits the window and you are already performing okayness for the world. You smile at the coffee shop, you answer the emails, but inside there is a quiet panic: did God slip away while you were sleeping?

Did you miss the moment the light went out? You scan your heart for evidence of presence and find only the noise of the day.

But listen — the darkness has not overcome it. The light does not depend on your ability to feel it.

It was there before you woke up. It is there behind the mask you wear.

You do not have to earn the sunrise; it arrives whether you are ready or not. The same is true for the love that holds you.

You are not an orphan searching for a father who left. The Father has made a home inside you.

You are safe even when you feel alone.
