I’m sharing this from something I said out loud at a time in which it was needed. I’m sharing it because I think it’s something we all struggle with sometimes. Worrying that our scars show worse than any one else’s.
Let the worry slip away. Let Jesus comfort you. He understand all about scars. He has them on both His hands and feet. And huge one in His side.
“I have scars too, I have a scar on my toe, on my wrist, on my face – on my heart. Life isn’t just about roses. It’s about barbed wire too. The barbs and wire will wrap around your leg, your arm, your heart, your soul, and when you see them holding you in their grip you find the strength and courage to pull free and they tear off, slowly and painfully and leave scars, deep scars. But if there’s a scar it means it’s healed. Nothing raw and open, nothing painful and bleeding. Healed. You and your scars are healed. I love you. But more importantly, my Saviour loves you.”
