The Light Is Older Than Your Dark

You woke up and the thought was still there, waiting in the room before your eyes even opened. It followed you through sleep, proving that even your dreams offered no escape from the weight you carry.

In this deepest hour, the darkness feels like a wall that has finally closed in. But listen — the light does not depend on your ability to rest.

It does not wait for your mind to be quiet. It was shining in the dark long before you woke up screaming.

The shadow you feel is not a sign that the light has left; it is only proof that you are still here to feel the contrast. You are not abandoned in this panic.

The Father's light is already inside you, holding the very parts of your heart that are shaking. Breathe.

The night is long, but the light is older than the dark.
