My child,
Sin leaves scars. You remember the story of my son Peter. How he denied and cursed when confronted with his relationship with my son. Do you think he did not look back on that event with pain and embarrassment over what he had done? He did go on in grace to serve me. He preached, led and taught as the “rock” I knew he would be, but he did carry scars from his sin and the sins of others.
You can focus on those scars, fret over them, relive the embarrassment of your failures, of others assaults and the make your life about scars. Or, you can step out in my grace and make your life about redemption and healing. You will always have the scars, but a full and blessed life lays before you in my grace and compassion if you will accept it.
Healing for the Scars, I AM
