Drop the script you owe no one
The water is still running, but your mouth is moving faster, rehearsing words you do not owe. You are building a case against yourself in the steam, drafting an apology for a crime you did not commit, just so you can turn off the tap and face the quiet.
But listen — the Father who saw you coming from a long way off did not wait for your speech. He ran before you could say a single syllable of shame.
The light does not need your defense. It does not need you to prove you are sorry enough to be loved.
Drop the script. Let the water wash away the argument you are having with yourself.
You are not forgiven because you explained it well. You are held because you are His.
