The Light Remains When Definitions Crumble

The sun is up, and so are you, putting on the face that says you have it together. But underneath the coffee and the small talk, the ground feels like it has turned to water.

Every word you were taught about God now sounds like a foreign language you no longer speak. You walk through the day wearing a mask of certainty while inside, the walls are coming down.

It feels like losing everything. But listen — when the definitions crumble, the Light does not fall with them.

Jesus stood in the temple courts and said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.' He did not say 'whoever understands the theology.' He did not say 'whoever has the right answers.' He said whoever follows.

The questions you are asking are not pushing you away. They are stripping away the paint to reveal the wall underneath.

You do not need to know the name of every brick to know the house is still standing. The Light is not a lesson you failed.

It is a presence you are walking toward, even through the doubt. You are not losing God.

You are losing the box you tried to put God in.
