The Light Is Not Afraid Of Your Silence
The silence at this table has weight now, a physical thing pressing against your throat where the words should have been. You swallowed them hours ago to keep the peace, and now they sit inside you like smooth, cold stones.
But the light does not need your perfect timing to do its work. It is already in the room, sitting in the quiet space between you and the person you love.
Jesus once looked at a man blind from birth and said the darkness was not a punishment, but a canvas for something greater to be shown. Your unsaid words are not a failure; they are the very place where the light is waiting to speak.
You do not have to force the river tonight. The truth that lives in you will find its way to the surface when the time is right.
For now, just breathe through the stones. The light is not afraid of your silence.
