Dawn Arrives Before You Are Ready
The sun is rising, and with it comes the quiet, terrifying thought that perhaps your child would be safer with someone else. You carried them through the night, but now the morning light feels like an accusation against your own brokenness.
Yet, while you were still far off in your shame, the Father saw you and ran to meet you before you could even speak. He did not wait for you to be worthy; He ran because you are His.
The light that woke up inside you this morning is the same light that holds your child even when your hands feel too weak to grip. You are not a danger to be managed; you are a vessel that was chosen before the world began.
The dawn does not ask if you are ready; it simply arrives, covering everything in a grace that is stronger than your fear.
