Your Scars are Beautiful to God

One of the books that I am reading right now has been such an encouragement to me given the past 6 or seven months of my life. This book is an encouragement for me regardless if I had been through what I haver or not. Your Scars are Beautiful to God by Sharon Jaynes has helped me to remember that the Lord loves me even though I have messed up numerous times. There are many passages from her her book that I would like to share; because there are so many, I will break them into several posts so that it isn't an overwhelming read. She is so good at pointing out that even though we mess up over and over again, the Lord is our father and He loves us more than we could ever imagine. We may be wounded many times throughout our lives but the point is, the Lord heals us. The wounds turn to scars that are used as tools in His marvelous plan to bring not only our eyes, but the eyes of many back to Him. Every scar has a story-tell people that story and how the Lord has taught you through it; bring glory to our God.
