SCARS

SCARS

After my daughter had her first surgery at three months old, she was left with a scar. A scar is "a mark left on the skin or a sore that has not healed completely and fibrous connective tissue has developed". Scars are a protective layer for the healing process to take place after we have been wounded. When Jesus was nailed to the Cross, upon His resurrection His hands and feet were scarred.

The world is embedded with scars of atrocities, violence, genocide,  inhuman regimes and scars of evil. We too have scars embedded in our souls that have not completely healed. Some scars healed quickly while others take time to heal. There are also different stages of the healing process.

Those of us who follow after Jesus understand there are "holy scars" that goes with being a disciple of serving the Lord. "Jesus understands the meaning of scars because of His own scars." Those scars are a testimony of His love for mankind, "as He took our pain, bore our suffering, pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities and by His wounds were are healed.

We do not have to suffer anymore in silence, because Jesus did it all for us. Jesus, The Healer has restored and healed my scars and now I walk in the newness of life. I invite you to give Jesus your scars and walk free.
