Light Waits in Your Honest Doubt
You are standing at the edge of the dark, wanting to believe and finding the words won't form. You want the light, but your hands feel heavy and the darkness feels solid, so you are afraid that if you step forward, you will fall.
There is a man who found everyone blind in their hearts and grieved for them, not with anger, but with a deep ache because they could not see what was right in front of them. And there is this truth: the light has not left you even in this hesitation.
It is already there, waiting for you to simply stop trying to earn it. You do not need to force a belief you do not have; you only need to admit that you are waiting.
And in that waiting, in that honest admission of your doubt, the light is already holding you. It is not gone because you cannot feel it.
It is there, and it is enough.
