The Light Does Not Apologize For Shining

The sun is setting, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. That is when the whisper starts: that your very presence is a weight too heavy for the people who love you.

You look at their faces and wonder if they are just tired of carrying you. But listen — the light does not apologize for taking up space.

It simply shines. There was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years, convinced she was too unclean to be near anyone, too broken to touch the hem of a garment without ruining it.

She thought her presence would defile the crowd. Yet when she finally reached out, trembling in the dark, she was not pushed away.

She was called 'Daughter.' Your existence is not a burden to be managed. It is a life to be held.

The love that surrounds you did not calculate the cost before it chose to stay. You are safe here.

Put down the fear that you are too much. The light is not weary of you.
