Dawn Does Not Wait for Wholeness
The sun is rising, and you are still carrying the weight of yesterday, convinced you must repair yourself before you can face the day. You think the light waits for you to be whole before it dares to touch you.
But look at the dawn—it does not wait for the flowers to fix their petals before it shines on them. The father saw his son while he was still covered in filth and ran to him before the apology was even finished.
The light does not require your perfection. It requires only your presence.
You are not too broken to be loved; you are loved so that you can begin to heal. The morning is not a test you must pass.
It is a gift you simply receive.

Luke, Matthew
