He Waits to Eat in the Mess
The note is written, folded, and hidden away before the ink is even dry. Part of you still wants tomorrow to come, even while your hand tries to stop it.
That tension is not a failure of faith—it is the honest groan of a heart still fighting for the light. You do not have to resolve the conflict tonight.
Just know that the One who stands at the door is not waiting for you to be ready. He is waiting to eat with you in the mess.
The darkness is gathering, yes, but the true light is already shining inside the very place you tried to hide.
