The Dawn Does Not Require Your Perfection
The sun is rising, and you are still awake, carrying the heavy belief that you must earn the right to rest. You have been keeping watch over your own failures, convinced that if you just stay alert enough, you can fix what is broken.
But the light does not wait for you to be perfect before it arrives. It comes while you are exhausted, while you are empty, while you have nothing left to offer but your tired eyes.
The morning star is given not to the ones who stayed awake, but to the ones who survived the night. You do not need to prove your worth to the dawn.
The light is already here, shining on you simply because you are here.
Drawing from
Revelation 2:28, Matthew 6:22-23
