The Father Running Toward You
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to press against your ribs. You wake with a tight chest, convinced that if you vanished, the world would simply close the gap you left behind.
But there is a Father who sees you from a long way off — not waiting for you to fix yourself, but running toward you before you can even speak. He does not measure your worth by your utility or your presence in the room.
You are held in extraordinary detail, known down to the very hairs of your head. The fear says you are alone; the truth says you are watched over with a tenderness that refuses to let go.
Even in this watch, even in this stillness, you are not forgotten.
