I have shared this on FB before, but I wanted to share this blessing from Jonny Diaz with everyone who may need to hear it! Oh how beautiful are our scars!

As I sat here and listened to this song.....once again God proved to me how powerful our testimony is! Our testimony IS a part of our scars! We don't have to hide them! When we try to hide our scars, there is still shame involved.....we worry about what others may think about us. I am here to tell you, there is such great freedom.....and beauty in revealing those scars! There is such a great witness in revealing those scars when we have allowed God to take the sin, take the shame, and heal our broken hearts and spirits! When we reveal those scars and speak of the greatness of our God.....that my friends is using the great gift of your testimony! When I hear the testimonies of others, there is such great peace that flows from our Fathers heart to ours! Testimonies may not be pretty....most often they are ugly and filled with great pain! BUT GOD!!!!!! I have so many different avenues to my testimony and just looking at what they are about is not pretty....it is filled with regret.......BUT GOD!!!! Now I am free!!!! Now I have a deep peace that truly surpasses ALL understanding!!!! Now.....I love my scars....God has made beauty from the ashes of my life and left those beautiful scars as a lasting reminder of HIS LOVE FOR ME!!!!! The most beautiful scars in the history of the whole world are the scars that are on the hands and feet of our INCREDIBLE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! His scars should be the ultimate reminder of Gods Love and Grace! Oh my friends....let yourself be freed from the shame and share your beautiful scars!
