Jogakbo of my life II & III
A jogakbo is a style of patchwork, traditionally used to create domestic wrapping cloths from scraps of left-over fabrics. The art of making wrapping cloths has enjoyed a long history in Korea. The jogakbo can include several colors composing a modern abstract pattern.
Gold stitch lines, which represent the works of His grace, and fabric textures make this painting more beautiful. Each moment of life is sometimes opaque and dull, and other times sheer and shiny. But He makes all things beautiful and working together for our good.

Like the art of jogakbo from left-over fabrics
You patches my scraps together into a masterpiece
Your wisdom makes all the parts of my life meaningful
A piece of my unworthiness
Another piece of my insignificance
Your love gathers all of pieces I used to think useless
I lay down my self perfection
I place my trust in You once again
Your light creates my life always beautiful
조각보
남겨진 천들이 아름다운 조각보가 되듯
내 삶의 조각들을 이어 예술이 되게 하시네
그 지혜로 내 모든 순간을 의미있게 하시네
한 조각의 가치없음
다른 조각의 하찮음
쓸모없이 버려진 조각들을 사랑으로 모으시네
스스로 완벽해지려는 자아를 내려놓고
또 다시 신뢰하며 내 전부를 맡기네
그 빛으로 한땀 한땀 아름답게 지으시네
