Love Poem: Broken

Broken

Dear God, I am broken inside,
As far from Your face, I hide.
The weight of my shame and sin,
Devastate me – without and within.

I repent and turn back to You,
You reconcile and make me new.
But I am only human and full of sin,
And I fall back again and again.

O God, I am broken again,
And I know I must make amends, 
To the ones I have hurt and been unjust,
But they are full of rejection and mistrust.

I hold on to who You are,
Your love reaches near or far.
I make amends and leave the rest to You,
Your love and grace will see me through.

God, I am broken, as life takes its toll.
The weight of this world overwhelms my soul.
There are days I feel I can’t go on,
And maybe I wish that I could be gone.

Then You send me reminders of who You are,
Through Your Word and friends, near and far.
You tell me that one day, I will see you in heaven,
And never again, will I be broken.
