I feel like a damaged good, a little more damaged, than good. The scars of my past, are written all over me, do I really get a second chance, am I really forgiven? This shattered heart inside of me beats, very slowly, but still…it beats. There is constant ache, from all my mistakes, can You really take it all away, and make my heart new? The enemy comes to steal my joy, kill my dreams, and destroy my soul. But, You died, to give me joy and hope, a purpose , and eternal life. In this world of go, go, go, let me find rest in You. I want to push away all the chaos and distractions, and focus, only on You and Your words. Let me meet with You, in a time of worship, I want a moment of intimacy, with my Maker. Shower me in Your mercy, seal me in Your love, let Your grace pour into my life. You say to me, “Child, you are forgiven.” Just like that You’ve given me a fresh start. You take my slowly beating, shattered heart, and little by little, You help me mend it. |
