The Father Runs Before You Apologize
There is a father who saw his son coming home, and while the boy was still a long way off, the father ran. He ran to meet him before the apology, before the speeches, before the shame could be spoken.
You feel so far away from the people you called family tonight, and you think the distance you created is too great to cross. But the light that runs to the lost is already running to you.
It does not wait for you to fix the broken thing. It is greater than the silence between you.
You are held in a love that does not require anyone's permission to exist.
