Day 5 \u2014 I Am Not Like the Ones Who Left<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Devotional<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense if you keep Me at a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time you trusted before, something ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every attachment taught you impermanence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every goodbye trained your heart to stay guarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But listen to Me gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not disappear when you are honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not withdraw when you struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not punish closeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not watching for the moment you fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when you doubt Me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when you don\u2019t know how to pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when you feel numb or disconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to rush toward Me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to force trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just stop running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am already here\u2014and I am not leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
