Do Not Dim Your Light
The room is loud, and you feel your voice shrinking back into your throat before it even forms a word. You are tired of being the only one who sees the light, so you dim it yourself to match the darkness around you.
But listen — there was a man born blind, and the world asked who sinned to make him that way. The light answered: neither.
His blindness was not a punishment, but a canvas for something greater to be displayed. Your voice is not too strange for this room.
It is exactly what this room needs, even if they cannot see it yet. Go home to your quiet place, close the door, and speak your truth where no one can see but the One who sees in secret.
Your Father, who sees what is done in hidden places, will reward you — not with applause, but with the quiet certainty that you did not betray the light.

John 9:1-7, Matthew 6:6
