It’s strange how quickly our eyes adjust to the dark. What feels overwhelming at first slowly becomes familiar—comfortable, even. We learn where to step, what to avoid, and how to get by without ever turning on the light. Over time, the darkness stops feeling like something that needs fixing and starts feeling like something we simply manage.
Light, on the other hand, can be jarring. It exposes things we’d rather keep hidden. It asks us to see clearly—ourselves, others, and God—without filters or excuses. And once we’ve settled into the dark, stepping into the light can feel harder than staying where we are. While the darkness may be familiar, light is where healing, freedom, and real connection begin.
