lying awake counting the minutes until you have to face the person you spoke to, rehearsing apologies that will never be spoken

He Ran Before You Spoke

The clock is moving, and you are rehearsing words that feel too heavy to say out loud. You are counting the minutes until you have to face them, building a wall of silence before the sun even rises.

But listen — the Father saw you coming while you were still a long way off. He did not wait for your speech to finish.

He did not wait for the apology to be perfect. He ran.

The light inside you is not waiting for you to get it right; it is already running toward the moment you fear. You do not have to fix the morning before you sleep.

The peace that guards your heart is stronger than any words you leave unspoken tonight.
