I think we carry scars in life for a reason. It is a reminder of what we have been through. I was tell some guys the other day that even though we are new creations in Christ, we still carry the scars of the life of sin that we used to live. The more we operate in the light of Jesus, the more the scars fade away. With healing, which usually comes with time, our spiritual scars become obscure like our physical ones. Most scars are only known if we make them known.
I was talking to my cousin tonight and we talked about feelings. She told me there is nothing that can change the way I am feeling right now, that I just have to feel it no matter how bad it is. I kind of like that, not the pain part, but the fact that I have to feel it. It is part of the healing process. Life is just that way. We only see a small part of the picture. We only see where we have been and where we are at (which many times our vison of such places isn't clear), but we can't see where we are going. The fact is we are going somewhere. Somewhere good. Sometimes the road to get there though is slippery and you find yourself falling and getting hurt. The key is to realize that falling is not the end of the road, and neither is getting hurt. No matter how hard it hurts, you have to get back up and keep on going toward your destination. You will only get there if you keep moving toward it.
I think the road is worth walking down, no matter where it leads, no matter how many times I fall.
