Rhythm: A Son Returns

Even after we've tasted God's love… we drift.

Not always in outright rebellion. Sometimes in exhaustion. Sometimes in silence. One day we wake up and realize we’ve been living like orphans again — trying harder, hiding deeper, or just numbing out.

But sonship isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about knowing where home is.

“While he was still a long way off, his father saw him… ran… and embraced him.” – Luke 15:20

The Father didn’t scold. He didn’t lecture. He ran.

That’s what sons know — there’s always a way home.

Religious thinking tells us to isolate when we fall short. Sonship teaches us to return. Not to grovel. Not to earn. But to receive.

The world says disappear when you're weak. Heaven says: come back when you're weary. Because the arms of the Father are still open.

If you’ve drifted, listen — you are still a son. You’re not disqualified. You're reading this aren't you? You’re not forgotten. And the road home is short.

The rhythm of a son isn’t frantic—it’s faithful. Not hiding, but walking in the light. Not earning, but abiding. Not proving, but receiving.

Maybe you’ve been out of step—busy, burned out, distracted. That’s not who you are.

Come back to the rhythm. Come back to the Father. Because sons don’t perform—they return. And the Father is still calling.
