The Father Runs Before You Speak
The shame is hottest right now, in this hollow hour, replaying the moment you let the mask slip. You called it foolishness, expecting care where there was only silence.
But listen — the Father saw you from a long way off. Before you could even finish your apology, before you could name the mistake, he was already running.
The light does not recoil from your broken pieces. It runs to them.
You are not too much. You are the one being sought.
The darkness has not overcome the fact that you are loved exactly as you are, tears and all.
Drawing from
Luke, John
