A reminder for
today
From now on, don't let
anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show
I belong to Jesus. (Galatians 6:17)
We all carry scars. There are real scars from injuries and
then there is life scars. These are the ones we can’t see but they are there. They
are in our hearts and in our minds. Some are healing and some are just to deep
to go away. Scars can be from bad experiences we had or from hurt that we went
through. Some of our scars are visible from what we say and do, but some of our scars we hide because we are either embarrassed of them or we are afraid they
will make people dislike us.
The fact is that when you give your life to Jesus, He takes
all those scars on Him to the cross and He destroys them. He takes us and wipes
our past clean. This means that all those scars are gone and they should have
no effect on who we are. To keep them alive is to place yourself in bondage. This
is something that we open to allow the enemy to have a hold on our lives and
it could make you fall again.
The only scars you should have is the the scars that shows
the world that you belong to Jesus. These are battle scars from a life that
follows His voice and lives by His Word. These are also that scars that the
enemy fears, for they makes us stronger in Jesus.
There is nothing from you past that should hold you back, my
friend. You are amazing and you are strong. So today stand up and show your
scars, because the ones in your past is healed, but the ones that connect you
with Jesus is well worth showing.
Lord, take our past and clear it from our minds so that we
can battle on for you each day. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
