The Light Remains When Words Are Gone

The screen glows in the dark, a small square of light holding words you cannot send. You type the truth, then delete it, character by character, until the cursor blinks alone in the emptiness.

The phone goes black, and you are left staring at your own ghost in the glass—tired, unseen, waiting for a morning that feels impossible. But in this deepest hour, when your fingers stop moving and the room is silent, the light does not vanish with the screen.

It was there before you typed the first word, and it remains now that the words are gone. You did not erase the light when you erased the message.

The darkness of the glass cannot overcome the life already burning inside you. The silence is not empty; it is full of the One who knows your name without you having to speak it.
