I never really appreciated the fact that Jesus didn't take the scars away
when He saved me.

I guess I can be slow some times, as the why didn't hit me until church today.
Not only do they tend to keep me remembering from whence I have come, and help
keep me close to God, even when I'm complaining to Him about them. But they also
are there to help me remember what it is all about when I am supposed to help
someone else understand the pain they are in and the scars on their heart.


Never all hit me at once, although I know I've mentioned some bits of it to different folks
at different times. God just sort of put it all together for me today.

I like that Mark. I must say I have spent to much time on facebook I was looking for the like button.

I agree Mark.

Of course, God can use anything and anyone. But, I LOVE it when He uses my past hurts to help someone in the now. Ahh....it's that whole big picture thing.

but the hurts surely do hurt

Where do I nominate you for the understatement of the century award?

Mark, thank you for putting yourself out there like you do. I've thought about you while we've been talking...you can't understand like you do, unless you have hurt like this. I can't imagine what it's like for you to go back through this over and over again. Thank you for doing it. It means so much to me.

Well, it's not very fun right now, but Bro Gibbs reminded me of why I need to do it
in his sermon tonight.
I'm very glad to be of some help to you.

The process of getting the scars is no fun at all....I should have some new ones soon though.

I'm sorry Dove, and Mark.

We'll get through it all with God's help.
