When Enough Light Grows Inside You
There are moments on the healing path when something shifts so quietly that you almost miss it. You wake up with an aha in your spirit, a new knowing that wasn’t there before. This morning, mine was this:
When enough light grows inside you, your own shadows become too distinct to distract you from anyone else’s.
For so long, we mistake other people’s shadows for our responsibility.
We get hooked by their chaos, confusion, and projections. We may absorb it without realizing we’re missing something in ourselves.
But when the light inside you grows—faithfully, yet sometimes painfully—something holy happens. Your own shadows become clear.
They’re no longer vague shapes hiding in the corners of your life. You can see them, name them, and bring them to God.
They stop leaking into your relationships, pulling you into patterns that hurt, and confusing you about what belongs to you and what doesn’t.
And once that happens, you stop being distracted by someone else’s shadows.
You stop thinking you to fix, carry, or compensate for it.
You stop losing yourself in places where clarity can bloom.
This is what healing does- it strengthens us at our core. It separates our stories from someone else’s, and brings us back into ourselves with a quiet authority that doesn’t need proving.
It’s not that you become perfect or shadowless.
It’s that you’re no longer afraid of your own depth. You’ve met your inner terrain and no longer need to project it outward.
You don’t chase external resolution for internal questions, or lose your footing in someone else’s emotional weather.
Your light grows, Your shadows clarify, and suddenly, you see what’s yours and what clearly isn’t.
This is the kind of clarity that feels soft, grounded, and God-given.
A clarity that frees you from old dynamics and old illusions, and lets you walk forward with your whole self intact.
And maybe that’s the greatest miracle of healing: you become so lit from within that nothing outside you can distort your heart or vision anymore.
