The Light Does Not Ask You to Explain
The sun is rising, and with it comes the heavy thought that your silence is a weight others must carry. You worry that by not speaking, you are failing them.
But look at how the light returns—it does not shout to prove it exists. It simply appears.
The Father saw his son while he was still a long way off, and He ran before a single word was spoken. Your presence is enough.
The love that holds you does not need your performance to be real. You are not a burden because you are quiet; you are a child who is held.
The light does not ask you to explain the night; it only asks you to let it shine on you.
