You Are Not a Burden, You Are Light
The sun is coming up, and with it comes that quiet, heavy fear: that you are too much for the people who love you. That your pain is a weight they never asked to carry.
That if they knew the real cost of your presence, they would walk away. But look at the light returning to the sky.
It does not ask permission to shine. It does not apologize for taking up space.
It simply arrives, and the world is brighter because it is there. You are not a burden.
You are the light. The Father was pleased to give you the kingdom—not as a debt to repay, but as a gift you already hold.
Your existence is not a tax on their love. It is the very reason their love has somewhere to land.
The dawn does not worry that it is too bright. It just breaks.
And so do you.
