The Light Runs Toward Your Fear

The morning light is bright, and sometimes it feels like a spotlight on the parts of you that are breaking inside. You put on the face that says 'I'm okay,' you smile at your coworkers, and you move through the day while carrying a heavy fear about the health of the people you love.

But the light sees behind the mask. It knows the worry you are hiding.

There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, and before the apology could even be spoken, he ran. He did not wait for the performance to end.

He ran to meet the pain. The light is doing the same for you right now — running toward the fear you are trying to conceal.

You do not have to hold the weight of tomorrow while you stand here in the morning. The one who is in you is greater than the sickness that frightens you.

The mask can come down, even just for a moment, because the light already knows what you are carrying.
