Dancing with the Scars
Life hurts and cuts, and you bleed. You are left with permanent hurt. Sometimes, there are memories and wounds that just won't go away. Abuse. Depression. Tragedy. Death. Addiction. So what are you going to do? Faith in God doesn't prevent us from having scars like these. In fact, our Lord we follow was pretty scarred himself. But you gotta keep dancing. Through Jesus, we are given access to a living faith and hope and joy and peace and love that gives us power to keep dancing, to embrace scars and know that they don't define or destroy us.
Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds, we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 (NASB) 5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging, we are healed.
