O Lord, let my heart be opened
Unafraid to let others in
Let my healing be a beacon
By your grace it can begin
Let the fears of rejection
Fly to places far
Fill my spirit with courage
To be a child bearing a scar
Unashamed of who I am
I’m yours, worthy of love
Seek to be God’s warrior
These pleas go upward and above
Forgiving insensitive indifference
They may not understand or care
Realizing I am worthy
Because your love is always there
Your continual forgiveness
For you intercede for me
Countlesss sins forgiven
Guilty penalty is now free
Lord, grant the grace to extend
Forgiveness that you provide
To others who have hurt yours
Opened heart with arms held wide

This is so beautiful and encouraging! I do forgive others but I still don’t trust them. Rejection can be one of the most devastating things anyone can go through.

I feel the same. It’s hard to let others fully back into our lives when the trust has been broken.

Yes I guess it takes time, but some things are simply too difficult for us to handle, and God working in our lives becomes the only way for us to make it through. In my life trusting Him has been essential. Peace.

Oh how I’ve said those words so many times, ‘He’s the reason why I’m still here.’ I give him all the praise and credit for that. No one else, it’s not easy but through Him and with Him, it is possible.
