You Embrace My Brokenness

I don't want to pretend to be strong.
In truth, my heart is already desolate.
Tears flow where no one can see.
But you sat quietly beside me.
You didn't tell me to get better quickly.
You simply whispered, "I know."
In Your eyes, I have never been lacking.
Your grace embraces me tightly.
You embrace my brokenness.
Even though I won't say thank you.
Your love has never changed.
Gentleness overshadowed everything.
You embrace my brokenness.
It's not because I'm so perfect,
It is Your heart that never retreats.
You are the fountain of grace.
Lord, thank you for not leaving.
Wait for me when I am at my weakest.
I will slowly learn to lift my head again.
Because You are still here, because You still love.

You said I'm not broken.

You didn't find me too hard to approach,
You know I'm just afraid of being rejected.
Sometimes I don't even like myself.
But you said I am still your heart.
I'm trying my best to mend my broken self.
But you just looked at me gently and said "yes".
You don't expect me to be perfect.
You just wanted to accompany me as I slowly changed.
You said I'm not broken.
I just need a hug when my heart is broken.
Your words are softer than the wind.
But it planted a seed of dependence within me.
You said I'm not broken.
Even if tears drown out the sound.
You are still sitting next to me.
It has always been there, and it has never changed.

Lord, I Can Still Feel Pain

Lord, I know You are here.
But I still often don't want to talk.
It's not that I don't want to be close to you,
The wounds in my heart haven't healed yet.
Every time I want to forgive, my heart aches.
Every time I try to laugh, tears come first.
You didn't force me to get better quickly.
You simply kept me company while I waited.
Lord, I still feel pain.
But I know you won't turn away.
Are you not afraid of my silence?
Your love is always greater than yesterday.
Lord, I still feel pain.
But I am willing to be slowly repaired by You.
Although it's broken, it's still being mended.
But Your hand is gentler than medicine.

I Want to Believe Again

I was once disappointed in love.
So I slowly hid my heart away.
Sometimes I don't even dare to pray.
I fear that you might suddenly leave too.
But you never forced me to change.
You only appear quietly every day.
Warm and gentle like sunshine.
Wait outside the door of my heart for me to respond to Your kindness.
I want to believe again.
Although the wounds have not yet healed.
I want to open it up again.
Even the tears still serve as a reminder.
Because You are none other than the Lord.
You are the Savior who has never let me down.
I want to believe again.
This time I hold your name in my hands.

Lord, please use me as I am now.

Lord, I know I am not good enough.
There are some things I can't say, and some things I can't do well.
Sometimes confidence can waver.
I often doubt whether I can be used.
But you don't see how perfect I am.
You care whether I'm willing to give myself to you.
Even though I'm still injured,
You too can sing glorious hymns from brokenness.
Lord, please use me as I am now.
The truth lies in both courage and weakness.
I'm not afraid of others not understanding me.
As long as you still believe I can be a blessing.
Lord, please use me as I am now.
Even though I'm still learning to forgive and persevere.
Your love is my greatest value.
Because of You, my life can write a new story.

It's not that the winds are calm, but that you are with me.

Lord, I no longer ask for the absence of storms.
I only want You to accompany me on this journey.
It's not because I've become stronger.
It's because you never let go.
The tears shed in the past were not in vain.
You accept each step with gentleness.
Even now, I'm still occasionally afraid.
I know you will lead me home.
It's not calm and peaceful.
Rather, it is You who walks with me.
Between the mountains and valleys
Your presence is the reason for my peace.
It's not that there are no tears,
But it is You who hears my weeping.
Every fall and every rise,
You will stay with me to the very end.

You value a heart like mine.

Sometimes I feel very small.
No one cares or hears what I say.
Even if you try your best to do things right, you'll still be forgotten.
I often secretly want to escape.
I'm afraid even you wouldn't care.
I fear that you desire a blessing even greater than mine.
But you lowered your head and said gently.
"My child, I have always understood your desires."
You value a heart like mine.
Even though I'm still learning to believe.
You didn't think I wasn't obedient enough.
There is love, not expectation, in Your eyes.
You value a heart like mine.
Even if it's just a willingness to get close.
Your grace is neither more nor less.
Your love is always just right.

I approach You through my weakness.

Lord, I have no strength.
But I don't want to stray too far from you.
Even if tears blur my vision,
I still want to move towards you.
I do not have beautiful prayers.
There was only one sentence: "Lord, here I am."
You did not find me too weak.
You opened your arms to welcome me closer.
I approach You through my weakness.
It's not because I'm so brave,
It's because I know Your love will never change.
It will appear in my most vulnerable spot.
I approach You through my weakness.
Even a little effort is a contribution.
Your grace is already waiting ahead.
Slowly and completely repair my brokenness.

You Understand What I Didn't Say

The words I didn't say
You have long heard the struggle in my heart.
Some pain I don't even understand myself.
But you understand the fear behind every tear.
I no longer need to pretend to be brave.
You allow me to lie down quietly like this.
Your presence comes without pressure or blame.
Your love simply says, "My child, I am here."
You understand what I didn't say.
Even if not a single word was spoken,
You have come to the center of my heart.
Hold your brokenness in Your arms.
You understand what I didn't say.
You didn't come to ask me for the answer.
You simply give me quiet support.
Let me know that being understood is also a kind of grace.

Lord, please lead me out.

Lord, I think I'm still a little scared.
I'm afraid that past wounds will suddenly resurface.
I said I would let it go.
But she would still secretly look back at those scars.
You don't blame me for taking my time.
It just accompanies me for a part of the journey every day.
You held my hand, so I wouldn't be alone.
On every night when I don't want to move forward.
Lord, please lead me out.
Through the darkness, we move towards the light.
Even if I walk very slowly,
You do not hasten, but instead use love.
Lord, please lead me out.
Take me away from those old memories.
Each step is redefined.
I am no longer the broken person I once was.
