Love Runs Before You Speak
The sun is up, but your chest is still tight with the fear that your silence yesterday looked like rejection to the One who loves you most. You are afraid that because you had no words, the Father heard only distance.
But look at the light filling the room—it did not wait for you to speak before it arrived. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off.
He did not wait for the speech, the apology, or the explanation. He ran.
Before the son could say a single word, the father's arms were already around him. Your silence is not a wall.
It is simply the space where words failed, and love remained. The light does not need your performance to know your heart.
It sees you. It knows you.
And it is already here.
