Love That Outlasts Shame and Failure
There is a fear that sits in the belly as the light fades—that your children will one day look back and feel only shame for the way you loved them. But there is a Father who sees every child from a long way off and runs before the apology is even spoken.
The light inside you is not your performance; it is your origin, and it does not wash away because you stumble. You are a drop from that same light, sent to illuminate, and the light in you is greater than any mistake you have ever made.
The terror you feel is real, but it is not the final word on who you are to them. The love you carry is a weight that will outlast the shame of your failures.
