What's On My Heart Today
Treasure Your Scars
"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3.
Treasure Your Scars...Today, let's chat about scars. How many scars do you have? Maybe scars on your body that you hate? Emotional scars you hide? I have some doozeys! I've always thought of them as roadmaps of my life's journey. Rarely do we look at our scars and see it as something of beauty, but did you know that scars and their stories are important to God...really important? All scars are a part of His beautiful story at work in our lives that we can use for His glory. The reality is that scars are symbolic of triumph. God does not want you to ignore the scorched places in your heart and past. Here's a profound thought...The only scars that will be in Heaven are Jesus scars, evidence of His love and faithfulness to us all. His wounds heal our wounds. He gives each scar a great purpose here on earth. He uses our scars and broken places to share His message of hope to a world in need grace. If you have scars, you have a story to share to encourage a weary traveler along life's journey...Treasure your Scars.
"Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your Name, for in perfect faithfulness You have done wonderful things." Isaiah 25:1.
