Love Runs Before You Believe

The day is ending, and the armor you wore to hold it all together is finally heavy enough to drop. You are terrified that your doubt—the quiet, stubborn inability to believe—is a wall you built that keeps the love you need from reaching you.

But listen closely: the light does not wait for your permission to enter, nor does it retreat when your faith falters. It is like the father who saw his son coming home from a long way off; before the apology, before the speech, before any sign of belief—he ran.

Your unbelief cannot outrun a love that is already sprinting toward you. The exhaustion you feel is not proof of abandonment; it is simply the moment you stop trying to earn what was given before you took your first breath.

You do not have to believe perfectly to be held completely.
