The Light Was Never Missing

Tonight’s story is about Elias, a glassblower in a small coastal town who is asked to repair an old church window that no longer lets the light through. But the window is not broken. It is only covered. Salt. Soot. Dust. Weather. Years of grime. And that becomes the lesson. Most of us think spiritual life means becoming something new. More holy. More peaceful. More worthy. But maybe the deeper truth is simpler than that. You do not create the light. You remove what blocks it. The dirt may cover the glass. But it does not touch the sun.
