As we go through life, things sometimes cause scar tissue to grow in our hearts. The hurts of life cause a wound and as those wounds heal they become scar tissue. These wounds could be one of many things... you know what has hurt your heart and how it has healed. Sometimes these wounds are still in the scab phase and are easily reopened, and are slow to heal.
For some people they struggle to get past these hurts and the scar tissue begins to take over the heart. Personally I know what it is like to struggle with this. I have found too that even places that I thought were "healed" could be reopened in an instant. A situation, a word, an action or a loss can split open a wound before you even realize it, but those feelings start creeping in and the darkness wants to seep in. And when all hope wants to disappear, the Light reminds you... It is still there and It will over come.
- When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
On Resurrection Morning, Jesus came back to life with scars on His body and holes in His hands and Feet. Can you imagine and if during the middle of the crucifixion Jesus had said, this is not worth it, that He did not love us enough to continue on? He didn't and he asked God to forgive us. He got out of that grave with joy for what He was able to do. He gave us eternal Life. He gave us a life where we do not walk a lone and where He ask us to let Him carry our burdens. He wants our hurts and he wants to heal our hearts.
So for those of you that struggle with scar tissue, remember you are not alone. The One that created you, loves you and gave His life for you... And He is there to take those burdens from you.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
