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,
