Scars

When I look into the mirror, there are scars that only I can see.

These battle scars serve as a constant reminder to me

of the wonders of God’s mercy and of His grace;

They remind me that I can make it as I run this race.  

There are physical scars from injuries, surgeries and cuts

And emotional scars of rejection, heartbreak and such.

Scars that remind me that I’ve made it through;

Scars from those hard times when I didn’t know what to do.

Scars. yes scars that indicate that healing has taken place.

These scars are constant reminders

as I continue to run this race.
