Scars are Marks of Healing

Ever had a deep cut before? Blood gush out as if your red blood cells opened a tap for blood to be wasted away. Its hurts. You feel pain but then slowly with time the blood stops trickling down. You still fell hurt. Some tissues begin to build a cover up; scar tissues. If you try to peel it off blood will flow out again. So you let it be for a while. Then one day you realize it doesn't hurt anymore but the scar remains.


Deep wounds heal but they would leave a scar. Thats how tragedies and life pains are to us. They seem like they would never go away and then suddenly God calms the storm. Everything begins to fall in place yet the scar remain. The scars are not their to re-inflict pain. They are there to remind us of how far God has brought us from. They are there to remind us that we may be bruised again but there is a ray of hope. They remind us of our painful little beginnings. Don't despise them. They are marks of healing, hope and God's love that covers all things.


So next time you remember the wounds of the past, thank God for where He brought you from. Revisiting the pain is like peeling off a scar. It would hurt. If you are nursing a deep cut now remember Malachi 4:2 ("But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall"). Peace of the Lord be unto you!


Say this Prayer: Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals! I thank because You are the God that is able to erase every pain. I want You to rise with healing in Your wings and speak peace to every storm in my life, nurse my pain away and give me Your peace that overshadows all human comprehension. Amen
