The Light Is Already The Room
The screen stays dark. You keep checking it, hoping for a name that isn't there, while the room grows quiet around you.
The silence feels like rejection, like a verdict that you are forgotten. But listen — your heart may condemn you right now, whispering that you are unworthy of a reply.
Yet God is greater than your heart, and He knows the full truth of your waiting. He sees the ache behind the glass and does not mistake your silence for absence.
The light is not waiting for a message to arrive; it is already the room you are sitting in. You are not defined by the phone that stays dark, but by the Love that stays lit.

1 John 3:19-20, Matthew 6:18
