Restore

 While everyone around me kept

saying,

"Move on."

"You deserve better."

"Start over with someone new."

There was only one prayer in my

heart:

God, I don't want a different love...

I want You to heal and restore the one

that was broken.

I wasn't looking to erase the past.

I wasn't trying to pretend the pain 

didn't exist.

I didn't want to replace a story that

once meant something.

I wanted God to redeem it.

Because I discovered something that

changed my perspective:

When God restores, He doesn't simply

repair the damage...

He renews what seemed impossible to

save.
