Don’t Hide Your Scars

A word from the heart of God: Don’t hide your scars.

I truly feel that this is a word for me today. When I was younger, my cat scratched me and I got a big scar on my leg. I remember hiding it as a teenager because I hated the way it looked. I believe pain looks a lot like a scar on your body, one that most people hide and don’t like to look at. What if Pain was meant to be viewed differently? What if it was a scar meant to be seen? A scar with a story, a scar with a testimony, and more importantly, a scar with a visible victory. 1 Peter 5:10 declares, “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” I am living testimony that those words are true. God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes. Do not hide your scars. They come with great sacrifice and they are divinely beautiful.

You are loved, Kris
