You are our letter, inscribed on our hearts. Luke 10:20 - Model / RobinZ |
The word scar is in 6 occurrences in 10 translations of the Bible
Meaning of scar a mark left on the skin or within body tissue where a wound, burn, or sore has not healed completely, and fibrous connective tissue has developed:
If you have lived and walked the earth, you are the owner of at least one life scar... There are scars of the body which are our outward battle wounds. They bring temporary emotions that eventually heal and fade. But the scars within the heart and mind are the hardest to see and heal. We carry them for indefinite amounts of time. We sometimes even hide behind them. As difficult and emotional as they can be, they also fade and heal with time.
But as sad and emotional as they seem, and as painful as they are you must see the beauty of the scar itself ... The scar is where wisdom and love of self can grow. I do not mean an egotistical self-satisfaction type of love. It’s love deep within the soul. Its where your inner strength can be found. It’s a beautiful gift from God.
It is the resiliency and will to survive He gave to all mankind. They are scars that mark life’s victories small and large. These two eventually heal and fade. Jesus knows this because He carries scars in the palms of his hands and his feet. They are physical reminders to the world of the pain He endured for the people He loves so deeply. However, no one speaks of the scars that still exists today. It’s the scars of His heart these wounds cut deeper than we can even begin to imagine. When the ones He loves so deeply do not embrace who He is and shun His very existence.
The wounds have difficulty in ever scaring they just seem to bleed... I do not understand how we cannot embrace His LOVE. Love is the most amazing gift we can ever share.
If we carry these type of scars from others our only remedy is to go to Him, He is the only answer because when we bring our wounds to Him. That act, in itself, is acknowledging Him and that helps stop the bleeding in His heart and a beautiful scar will grow in place. Replacing the wound you may have caused.
As you allow Him to love you, you will find comfort and peace.You will find yourself falling in love with the Savior that rescued you and as your love for Him grows. It will help heal His heart as well and the wound in His heart will begin to heal. The place in His heart will scar and that scar will eventually become the inscription of your name for eternity. And that is how we grow a beautiful relationship with our Creator.

Let’s stop the bleeding and appreciate the scars and what they have become.
It’s Him. It’s always Him!
