Your Hunger Is Where Light Enters
The silence in the room feels heavy now, like proof that you asked for too much. You are staring at the empty chair, convinced your neediness was the thing that broke it.
But the light does not measure love by how little you require. It measures it by how honestly you reach.
When Jesus saw the paralyzed man lowered through the roof, he did not scold the friends for their desperate intrusion. He saw their faith and said, 'Take courage.' Your hunger is not a flaw to be hidden.
It is the very space where the light fills you. You did not push them away by needing them.
You invited the only kind of love that matters—the kind that stays when the roof is torn open.
