Scars...











Welcome to Spiritual Sundays hosted by
Charlotte and Ginger
.











Most people view scars as ugly. I don't like
to
think of them that way. Every scar
has a story, a lesson learned. Scars are

God's way of telling us to learn from our
mistakes. They are a reminder to
ourselves
and others that we are not perfect. They
are also a reminder that
even when we do
make mistakes they can be forgiven. Scars
are not wounds, they
are healed wounds.











Generally, the worst scars are not worn

on our body. The deepest, most painful scars

are on our heart. Brought about by hurt,

betrayal, and sin these scars have a way

of reopening into wounds. They may not be

visible by the eye, but they manifest

themselves in our actions. Emotional scars

hinder us from loving, trusting, and committing

to others. They sap us of the joys of life.


Some things never hurt less, they just

hurt less often.



God did not mean for us to be bound 

by the scars on our heart. In fact, to 

allow the past to control your future
is sin. It is proving that Satan has won
 and God is powerless to fully heal. 




We all  have these scars. It could be 

a broken relationship or the guilt of sin. 

It could be the loss of a loved one or 

the pain of failure. Emotional scars are 

as varied as the people who carry them. 

Since we all bear these individual pains 

we must all deal with it our own way. 

I like to look at them as good things.





How can a scar be good? 

It all depends on your view point. 

I think without pain we cannot truly 

appreciate the good things. 


God gave us scars. He intends for us to 

use them to further his glory. We need 

to stop viewing our scars as ugly and 

start viewing them as an asset.  A 

beautiful person is made of beautiful scars. 

 How many scars do you have?



As always thank you for stopping by,

my little piece of heaven, here in

the desert that I so love to call home.

Country hugs and so much love,
