scars do not replace the pain. or make the wound null & void. the hurt has simply transformed.
although one can rejoice in the scar as it is undoubtable evidence that healing has occurred. the wound that was once open and fresh cannot be forgotten. for without the wound, there is no scar.
today i rejoice that my 'broken heart is a healed heart' as a puritan once put it.
it has been one year from today that my heart was broken, yet so healed.
'remember this day in which you came out from egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the lord brought you out from this place' exodus 13.3
remembering this day. mourning the deep pain that was endured which left a gaping wound. rejoicing in the healing God has performed.
