Keep the Light On
Lately, I can feel how worn down people are and it’s not subtle anymore. The exhaustion is everywhere. We are tired from the headlines, tired from the shouting, tired from the cruelty that keeps getting excused, tired from being told to move on while the wounds are still open. There is a real temptation right now to shrink back, to go quiet, to protect ourselves by caring less. And yet, right in the middle of this moment, Jesus’ words refuse to loosen their grip: “You are the light of the world.” Not advice. Not poetry. A claim. A responsibility we don’t get to postpone until things calm down.
