The Ghost Vibration and the Quiet Room
The phone lies still on the nightstand, but your thigh burns with the ghost of a vibration. A message sent hours ago loops in your mind, a sentence you are desperate to rewrite, to polish, to fix.
You are editing a conversation that has already ended, fighting a battle in the silence where no one is attacking you. The darkness has not overcome the light that spoke through you, even in your stumble.
There is a quiet room inside you where the Father sees what is done in secret — not to judge the clumsy words, but to hold the trembling hand that typed them. You do not need to summon the courage to walk on water tonight; you only need to stop sinking under the weight of a storm that exists only in your head.
The light within you is not a flickering screen waiting for your approval; it is a sun that shines whether you speak perfectly or not.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:4, Thomas 24
