Scars are
areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after injury. A scar results from the biological
process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural
part of the healing process.
I’ve learned a lot about scars through my life. I got number 22 today. To be honest I have so many that I may have forgotten to count one or two haha . What I have learned is that it is something
that we all have if its something physically a scar you can see or a scar that
can not be physically seen, if its something hiding from a shirt or sweater or
a scar that’s on our heart.
For some of us our “ SCARS” Run deeper
then any physical visible wound. We all
have times in our lives where we see ourselves broken and its way to hard to
pick up the pieces. We are afraid we are
not worth. We are afraid we have done too
much. We are afraid we are not worth it.
We are also afraid that people might see those pieces and judge us. Our anxiety starts to go up, we start to
blame ourselves for even being wounded, and we think how can I ever really get
over this. Well you can! It’s not this
light bulb that just comes on but it’s an hour-by-hour, day-by-day and even moment-by moment process sometimes.
That is why we have scars; it’s a
natural piece of the healing process. This scar is going to be visible for the rest
of my life. But those scars are going to
tell a story; they are going to tell who you really are. They will bring you the biggest pain and have
brought you the biggest sorrow but with those scars always comes the joy
because joy always comes after sorrow.
I’ve
had strangers and friends come up to me telling me that they have read
this blog and we have had discussion on why they should even read these thoughts when
we believe so differently. We may
believe in different things and agree or disagree on certain things but one
thing I do know is that we ALL came from a loving God our Heavenly Father
who sent his son Jesus Christ to ATONE for our sins and for our sorrows. One day we will be able to feel those prints
in his hands from his scars, from his death and we will KNOW that it was for
each of us such an individual way I KNOW that He lives. I know that He loves
us! He is the comforter that doesn’t
wash those scars away but he is the comforter that brings us that strength we
need to continue that healing process. And not overnight. To look back on those scars and say that we
fought that fight and now we have something beautiful to remind us of how we
changed to be more like him our Savior Jesus Christ. We became a better friend, a better sister, a
better daughter/son, and a better husband/wife. A better person. One before thing before I sign off I was
reading this book about Jesus Christ atonement and it said this
“
The Saviors love was not a love for the righteous only; it was not a
abstract love; nor was it demonstrated by one dramatic sacrificial act and
nothing more. To the Contrary, it was a day-by-day,
hour-by-hour, even moment-by-moment love! It was love that stretched from
premortality into eternity. It was a
love that thoughtfully prepared a little fire of coals with fish and bread for
hungry and tired disciples as they emerged from an exhausting night of fishing
on the Sea of Galilee. It was a love
that blessed little children, healed the sick and offered hope to the hopeless. It was a love that reached out to every
individual as he or she was and lifted them to higher ground. Love was exhibited in every conscious, waking
moment of his mortal life. Love flowed
from every pore, every thought, and every act.
As naturally and regularly as we seek air, he sought to bless. Again and again in those moments of physical
exhaustion and pressing “ agendas” He was there for the one –to listen, to love
and to bless. His entire life was an
acculation of acts of love, capped by the most significant of all- his atoning sacrifice. “
These wounds stretch us, and those scars
are part of what heals us. It’s what
real beauty is. BE YOUR OWN KIND OF
BEAUTIFUL.
