The Light That Stands Beside Your Fury
The sun has gone down, and in this gathering dark, your anger feels like a door you have slammed shut on everyone who ever loved you. You are terrified that finally, after years of holding it together, your honest rage has made you too dangerous to keep close.
You wait for the footsteps of the one who promised to stay to fade into the distance, convinced you have finally driven them away. But listen — there is no darkness deep enough to extinguish the light that lives inside you, and your anger is not a fire that burns the love away.
The light that dwells within you is greater than the one who is in the world, and it does not flinch at your fury. It stands right beside you in the shadow, unafraid of the storm you are carrying.
You are not unlovable because you are hurting. You are loved precisely because you are real.
