The Light Runs Through Your Rejection

The house is quiet now. The silence you pushed them into still hangs in the air, heavy and cold.

You saw the hand reaching down, the one hand that didn't pull away when you showed your worst, and you slapped it. You drove them out because their staying felt like a mirror you couldn't bear to look into.

And now, in this deepest hour, the shame is a physical weight on your chest. But listen — the light does not leave when you push.

The Father saw the son coming while he was still a long way off. He did not wait for the apology to finish.

He ran. That same light is running toward you right now, through the dark you created.

It is not afraid of your rejection. It is not deterred by your shame.

The one who stayed in your heart even when you drove them from your life is already closing the distance. You broke the connection, but you did not break the love.
