SCARS
They said that when you’re deeply wounded, for it to heal quick, clean it not to pick on it every now and then and that it may leave a scar. I think, that is also applicable with wounds that aren’t physical in nature. Especially when the wounds are deep. There’s healing, yes, and unlike with physical wounds, it doesn’t have a timeline. It’s like one day you’re doing fine and the next thing you know, you’re back to square one and your wounds suddenly bursts open. Sometimes, you get to think, "I’m tired", "I thought I’m getting better, but why do I feel like I’m back at the beginning, feeling all the pain again? ".

But that’s where God, with all His grace, love and mercy comes into the picture. That in our weakest moments, He is still there and reminds us that He never left our side. That He knows our pain, our struggles, and He is the only one that can clean our wounds and our only healer. That’s why, we need to surrender everything to Him - everything that weighs us down and hinders our walk with Him.
And this is where scars are welcome because they are proof that we are healed, that this is a reminder of what we went through and that it holds a story that we can share one day to glorify God. That during those times that we were all broken inside, He was the One who held us together so that we won’t fall apart. And through that brokenness, we were made closer to His presence and His love magnified.
