The Light Waits Beneath Your Armor

The sun is setting, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. Now the silence rushes in, carrying the fear that your resentment has calcified your heart—that you are permanently incapable of genuine affection.

You look inside and see only the hard shell you built to survive the wound. But the light does not demand you crack it open tonight.

It simply sits with you in the exhaustion of holding it up. There is a story of a man blind from birth, not because of sin, but so the works of God could be displayed in him.

Your blindness to love right now is not a verdict; it is a canvas. The capacity you fear you lost is not gone; it is waiting for the moment when the mud is washed away and you realize you can see again.

The feeling may be buried, but the root remains untouched beneath the resentment. You do not have to force the affection to return before you are allowed to rest.
