“He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3 KJV
A lot of the time, our instinct is to hide our scars. To cover up our wounds and ignore the pain.
Understandably! A lot of the time there is embarrassment, shame and pain associated with our scars.
I challenge you to face your past and find the purpose in your pain. Otherwise, you can find yourself bitter and stuck in a cycle of grief.
The scripture above reminds us that we have a creator that made us with the ability to heal.
To forgive and be forgiven.
To grow and learn from our experiences.
Whether the trauma originated from an outside source; Abuse, Assault, Abandonement or perhaps bad decisions you made as a result like Addiction, Abortion, Adultery… our scars, no matter the source, remind us that healing is possible.
Scars remind us that although we may have been hurt, we overcame what tried to take us out!
Show your scars and tell your testimony!
I drew that picture many years ago not realizing I’d be using it for this purpose! God uses broken things
