The Dawn Does Not Check Motives
The sun is rising, and with it comes the old suspicion: that your tears were just a performance. A clever trick to manipulate the light into forgiving you.
But look at the dawn. It does not check your motives before it breaks the dark.
It simply arrives. There was a woman who washed feet with her tears, terrified and trembling, and the light did not analyze her heart for hidden agendas.
He simply said: your faith has saved you; go in peace. The sun does not ask permission to shine on you.
It rises because that is its nature. And the light within you rises not because you earned it, but because it cannot stop being light.

Luke, John
