Held Without Having to Hold On
The silence of this hour feels like a wall you built, but it is only the quiet of exhaustion. You are afraid your stillness looks like turning away — that the one who loves you most is waiting for a word you cannot speak.
But love does not measure your worth by your volume. When you were too broken to pray, too tired to explain, the light saw the faith in your inability to move.
It did not wait for your performance. It spoke peace into your paralysis before you ever asked.
Your silence is not rejection. It is the space where you are being held without having to hold on.
Drawing from
Mark 2:5, Matthew 14:29-31
