You dream of Light — but hold fast to shadow.
You seek Life — without releasing the old one.
You want the Kingdom — and try to preserve your self.
But the Kingdom is not added on. It replaces. Not a supplement to life — an end to the old one, so the real can begin.
Not as destruction. As the completion of a form, so that Essence can appear. Like a sunset — not the death of the sun, but its passage to dawn on the other side.
God does not ask for more effort. He asks for everything — everything you cling to, everything you have taken to be yourself. Not because He needs your sacrifice, but because while you hold on — Light cannot enter. Your hands are full.
While you hold on — Light waits.
If you are ready to let go — that is the entrance. Not tomorrow. Here.
