Love Runs Before You Are Fixed
You are carrying a weight you gave to someone else, and the morning sun makes that burden feel heavier than the night did.
There is a story of a man who went so far into his own mess that he rehearsed a speech for his father to beg for a servant's place, but before he could finish the words, the father ran to him and kissed him.
The love that greets you right now was not waiting for you to fix the broken thing.
It was already running toward you while you were still walking in the shame.
The light inside you does not keep your failures in the dark; it shines through them so you can see the love that is greater than your hurt.
You are not defined by the pain you caused, but by the light that remains after the tears have fallen.
