There is a quiet strength in simply choosing to show up, even when your spirit feels tired and your hope feels thin. The world teaches you to keep pushing, to stay strong, to never slow down, but that kind of strength often hides exhaustion. Today’s light is that sometimes real strength looks like slowing down. Sometimes it looks like being honest about what you can no longer carry alone. Sometimes it looks like letting God meet you exactly where you are instead of where you pretend to be.
Your healing is not measured by how fast you move. It is measured by your willingness to face the truth inside you without running from it. The tunnel may feel long, and some days the light may seem far away, but it’s still there. It’s not fading. It’s growing. Even when you feel overwhelmed or unsure of yourself, God is guiding you in ways you cannot see yet. Today, give yourself grace. Give yourself room. Give yourself permission to breathe. You are doing better than you think.
Reflection:
Where am I pushing myself too hard, and what would slowing down look like today?
Light does not always come through action. Sometimes it comes through acceptance and honesty
