Touched by The Light
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that life could feel this good. This full. That I could walk this Earth with such a deep sense of belonging, gratitude, and purpose. It’s as if I’ve been given a second chance at living: the first time according to my social programming, the second time according to my soul. Now I understand why I always felt out of place in the world. Not because I was born in the wrong time or place, but because I was living in the wrong way. There is truly a life before awakening, and a life after the light. Before, I moved through the world half-asleep, unaware that I was barely alive. I couldn’t have known any better. But now that I do, there is no going back.
It’s as if my senses have awakened — sight, sound, taste, touch, emotion — all intensified. The world hasn’t changed, but I have. Life now moves through me in technicolor. Everything is more alive. More sacred. And somehow, while everything became richer, it also became simpler.
By returning to my true self, I found the stream — the divine current that carries me. I no longer have to swim against it, grasping for control. I can surrender and allow it to guide me to exactly where I need to be. Every step now feels like a gentle nudge from the universe, a magnetic pull in the direction of my heart. I used to suffer from paralyzing decision-making anxiety. I had forgotten how to use the compass that lives inside my chest. But now I never feel lost, because my heart knows the way. My soul remembers the map. All I have to do is quiet the noise and listen.
Everything about me has changed, yet I’ve never been more me. I simply returned to who I was before the world told me who to be. And in doing so, I can finally breathe again.
There’s no more need for fear or constant worry. I walk hand in hand with God. Divinely guided, deeply protected. This doesn’t mean I’ll never face pain again. I will. But now I know that I’m equipped with every tool I need to move through it. And more than that — I know that each hardship will make me stronger, wiser, more whole. The growth that happens in the darkness is sacred. Those seasons carve me open to receive even more light. And nothing compares to the sweetness of rising after the fall. There is always ease after the storm. And it always comes, just like He promised.
To live in surrender to the Almighty is to live in complete alignment. It is to be nourished by life itself. To feel as close to heaven as Earthly possible. In this light, the impossible begins to happen. The magic reveals itself. The whole universe begins to conspire in your favor.
And now, I know: this is how good it can truly get.
May I always remember the truth of who I am.
May I stay close to the stillness within me,
where the compass of my heart always points me home.
May I trust the stream that carries me,
even when I cannot see where it flows.
May I walk with grace through every season,
knowing that even my hardships are holy.
And may I never forget the light —
the One who awakened my soul,
the One who guides my every step.
Amen.
