The Dawn Does Not Judge Your Darkness
The sun is rising, and with it comes the sharp edge of your own anger. You look at the church that hurt you, the people who failed you, and you feel a heat that scares you.
You tell yourself this rage proves you are finished, that you have lost your faith forever because you cannot forgive what was done in God's name. But the light is returning to the sky without asking the night for permission.
It does not wait for your anger to cool before it shines. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever, untouched by your fury or your disappointment.
Your anger is not the end of your faith; it is the fire of a love that refused to die while you were being broken. The dawn does not judge the darkness it replaces; it simply arrives.
You are not your rage. You are the light that survives it.
