The Father Runs While You Are Broken
The day is ending, and the quiet that follows feels less like peace and more like proof. It whispers the lie that your absence would leave no mark, that the world would simply close the gap you leave behind.
But there is a Father who sees you from a long way off — not waiting for you to be whole, but running while you are still broken. He does not scan the horizon for a reason to care; He runs because He cannot bear the distance.
You are not a ghost haunting your own life. You are the one being sought with a joy that outweighs the ninety-nine who never wandered.
The darkness may gather, but it cannot convince the light that you are optional.
