One prays that the Lord would use their children for His glory, then when He decides to use them in a way that also brings about pain and suffering in their life, well it’s just not an easy journey to watch or walk through with them...But through it all one begins to identify “some” with how Mary must have felt as she watched her Son, Jesus, being persecuted and in turn the child learns “some” how Jesus must have felt when He was persecuted...
Just wanted to share our oldest sons thoughts on being scarred...looking through the eyes of someone who is blind in hopes that our scars might remind us to be careful not to injure others and that it might bring encouragement to some during those seasons of life that are so painful the suffering leaves you scarred for life...
Scarred for life
Being scarred is a part of life. It’s what you do with your scars that matter. When you fall off your bike when you a kid it’s painful and you run to your parents to help you because it is painful. Your parents put a band aid over the cut to help it heal. When the band aid is pulled off the scar is still there and every time you look at the scar you remember what happened. So being blind, being paralyzed, being hurt by people, being told you are not good enough, all those things are scars in your life.
Just like Jesus dying on the cross He has scars on His body. He used those scars to remember what He did for us and to show that He is who He said He is.
So remember any scars you have is meant for you to look at on a daily basis and use those scars to show everyone that Jesus is a part of your life...
Remember your scars are meant for good and to further the kingdom of God...
Remember it’s ok to be scarred for life...
