Battle Scars

Scars usually never go away, but leave little marks that are always there to remind us of the storms that we have gone through to get where we are, accidents that we have experienced, surgeries that we have gone through or the loss of loved ones. These scars help you realize how thankful and blessed we are to understand the importance of growing and becoming the person we are meant to be, for friendships and for our families. Scars can be on our body or in our minds, but they all have some meaning into helping shape who we are.

We all have battle scars which are those scars that represent the hard work and preparation that we have put in to make a team, get a job or build ourselves into the people we have become. These scars are a reminder to us that nothing comes easy in this life and our reward after our battle here on Earth is over will be well worth the wait. The scars we bear are a sign that we are competitors and that whomever or whatever tried to hurt us did not win. Scars give us strength to know that we persevered through a tough time in our life.

Along with battle scars, we all have emotional scars. These scars represent the tough times in our lives, the people that have disappointed us and the loss of those we love. These emotional scars rekindle memories, give us hope that God puts people in our lives for a reason and and teaches us to persevere  through adversity. Sometimes our scarred hearts rekindle a strength to push us to become better people, better friends, better teammates and appreciate the gift of family.

If you are going through a tough time or have many scars remember: Every storm cloud runs out of rain and that we have a God that His love never fails and never gives up on us! When we think we have ot hard, think about the fact that we were the thorns in His crown  and we were the nails in His wrists, but He loved us anyway. Because of His scars, we get to wake up every morning with a chance to make a difference and help others heal their scars. "Turn your scars in to stars."...
