We all have our scars…
Some are shallow and some are deep.
Some are subtle and some make us weep.
Some have left everlasting imprints that keep us from breathing.
While other creep into our minds and are fleeting.
Sometimes they bring us sorrow and sometimes they bring us pain.
But they help us to know that we will get through another day.
Our scars show our story and how we survived.
They remind us how strong we were in the midst of a fight.
So don’t think they are ugly and be ashamed of them.
Wear them with pride for they show the strength you have within.
You are still standing tall with His mercy and grace.
You have been through a battle and won the race.
Don’t focus on the scars for they are remnants of the past.
Focus on the blessings you have, for precious moments don’t last.
Use those scars to gain compassion for our fellow man.
For we are all broken and need someone to lend a helping hand.
We all have our scars…
What will you do with them?
