The Light Waited in Your Silence
The room is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the words you didn't say. You are replaying the exact second you froze, imagining a different outcome if you had just spoken.
In this deepest hour, the silence feels like a verdict. But listen — the light was present in that silence, even when your voice failed you.
The Father who sees what is done in secret knows the love that was trapped behind your teeth. He does not need your perfect timing to complete his work.
The moment you regret is not the end of the story; it is simply a place where the light waited for you to breathe again.
Drawing from
Matthew, Gospel of Mary
