Oh, my heart
I am scared.
I’m not brave enough. I’m afraid of being hurt. I’m afraid I might break my own heart.
I must take care of it, So I can offer it back to my Creator— Whole and as pure as the day He gave it to me.
But I don’t want my heart to turn to stone. I don’t want it to grow numb.
I just want it to feel joy and find peace, To be genuine and calm.
I hope I can do that Without bruising or breaking it.
I can forgive; My heart heals
Yes, I am not brave enough, But I have entrusted my future to the will of God.
Yes, I am scared of being hurt and of breaking my own heart, But I know Jesus is carrying me every step of the way.
Yes, I don't want my heart to become cold, stone-like, and numb, So I have learned to forgive and love without expecting anything in return.
I am humbly proud of myself. Being afraid of breaking has drawn me closer to faith, Teaching me to seek forgiveness so my heart can heal, So my heart can be cleansed, And so I can return to Him, Even in the lowest moments of my life.
