Gravity of the Dark

Grace does not let go. Even when the gravity of the dark pulls hard, the light blazes forward and carries us with it. Hold on.

The black hole waits,

a mouth of endless hunger

pulling all things towards its center.

Shadows of wounds like shattered glass,

fears that never loosen,

addictions weighted and rusting,

all circling the soul,

a cage of ruin in orbit…

Space junk.

Signals go out:

desperate flares,

silent prayers:

a soul’s cry for escape.

A blaze tears through the void:

a comet, wild and golden.

Not chance… but Grace.

Love burning its way through the dark.

To catch that tail

is to feel life surge again,

faith rekindled,

But the pull fights back.

Violent.

Unrelenting.

The fall begins again,

back towards the weight,

back towards the all-consuming pull.

Hell doesn’t go down without a fight.

Yet grace is not a comet that passes once.

It blazes again and again

across the night sky.

Mercy does not tire.

Faith does not vanish.

Forgiveness does not fade.

Grace blazes on,

a comet no orbit can hold.

So do not grow weary, dear soul.

Hell does not get the last word.

The final word is light.

What It Reveals

Scripture tells us, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Sin and despair pull hard, but Christ’s mercy is stronger. Grace is not a fleeting streak across the sky — it is the steadfast love of God that never ceases (Lamentations 3:22–23).

What It Asks

When the weight feels unrelenting, whose word has the final say in your life — the pull of hell, or the promise of God?

What It Undoes

The lie that darkness wins. The lie that forgiveness runs out. The lie that ruin is the end. Christ has already declared: “It is finished” (John 19:30).

What It Plants

Confidence in the One who holds the final word. His word does not fade. His promises stand. Light will always outshine the dark.
