In
this book, Healed
Wounds, But Ugly Scars, wounds
and scars are used as metaphors for the consequences of wrong
choices. Wounds refer to the consequences that are still fresh, and
scars symbolize the lasting effects of past decisions and actions.
Every human being
carries some scars. In our journey through life, we are often injured
physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Some of the
wounds that caused the scars are self-inflicted, whiles others were
caused by other people. Even after we are healed, the scars still
remain—and some of them are very ugly.
Scars tell stories, and
the stories can be painful. They include lasting effects resulting
from missed and neglected opportunities, broken hearts, failed
relationships and marriages, painful betrayals and hurts,
disappointing outcomes, and dashed hopes. The scars also expose the
hidden experiences of rejection, fear, doubt, ruined health and
finances, loss of innocence, shipwrecked faith, lifelong regrets, and
more.
But although scars tell
sad and tragic stories, scars don't bleed anymore. They don’t have
to bleed anymore. Scars are there to remind us that once fresh wounds
are now healed. Rightly perceived, scars can inspire us to move on
with our lives.
