The Light Remains Untouched By Betrayal
The sun is up, but the room still feels like the moment the trust broke. Betrayal leaves a residue that morning light cannot immediately wash away.
You are walking through the wreckage of a promise that someone else shattered. It is heavy.
It is unfair. And it is okay to admit that you do not know how to carry it today.
But listen — the Father's light was already inside you before the lie was spoken. It was there when the knife went in.
It is still there now, untouched by the deception. The betrayal changed your story, but it could not extinguish the lamp within your chest.
You did not lose the light when you lost them. You are not defined by what was taken.
You are defined by what remains burning. The night ended.
The light is still yours.
