The Light Meets You in Trembling
The night is heavy with words you have not spoken yet. You are already apologizing for a reaction that lives only in your fear, rehearsing the shame before the sun even rises.
But listen — the darkness you are hiding in cannot hide you from the light that is already here. There was a father who saw his son while he was still a long way off, and he did not wait for the speech; he ran.
The light does not need your perfect apology to meet you. It meets you in the trembling.
The shame you feel is not a verdict; it is the shadow of a love that is closer than your next breath. You are not your worst imagination.
The light that lived in Jesus lives in you, and it is not afraid of your unspoken words.
