carrying the weight of someone else's pain that you caused
There is a weight you are carrying, a story of your own making that feels too heavy for the coming dark. You replay the moment, the words, the harm, and you wonder if you will ever be light enough to walk through the night. But listen closely—the light that is God did not leave when you stumbled; it simply waited for you to stop running.
In the end, the one who knows everything is greater than the heart that condemns you.
The light is not a reward for fixing what you broke; it is the presence that was never broken in the first place.
You are not lost; you are being found by a love that runs to meet you in the dark.
