He Runs Before You Speak
The afternoon sun feels heavy, like the middle of a long road where your voice has grown thin and quiet. You wonder if the words you whisper anymore are too small to reach the throne, or if heaven has stopped listening to the ordinary.
But remember the father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — he did not wait for a perfect speech. He ran.
Before the apology, before the rehearsed lines — he ran. Your voice does not need to be loud to be heard.
It only needs to be honest. The light is not waiting for a shout; it is leaning in to hear the quietest tremor of your heart.
You are not shouting into the void. You are speaking to the One who already knows your name.
