Let the Dam Break Tonight
Your jaw aches because you have been holding back a storm all day. You clenched your teeth to keep the sob inside, thinking that if you let it out, you would fall apart.
But the light is not afraid of your shaking. It does not ask you to be strong enough to hold your own grief.
Tonight, you can let the dam break. The One who holds you is stronger than your collapse.
You do not have to carry the weight of your own sorrow to stay safe. The peace that comes is not the silence of a stopped cry, but the quiet that follows when you finally let go.

John 21:15-17, Matthew 26:38-39
