Scars Still Testify

/

Amen?! We all have battle scars from a life lived in a broken world. Some are visible, some are not; some from times we’ve been hurt, others from times we’ve hurt others ... but we all have them.

Child of God, those scars can testify of the Jesus who redeemed you; of the God who loves you; of the relationship that saved you!

No one wants to flaunt their battle wounds, but don’t hide your scars in embarrassment. Don’t bury them, or be ashamed of them.

When you’re asked about how you’re becoming someone new, or you’ve made it through the difficult season someone is else is struggling in.... don’t use those marks to tell of your own strength, but of the Savior who loves you so much, He died on the cross to bear the burden of your sins, who rose from the grave with His own scars, and is now seated at the right hand of His Father!

Let your scars be a testimony of God’s faithfulness to you. ♥️

In Him,

Jules

When I was a kid dreaming of what I would be one day, I had three main dreams…first was to be a mom, second was to be a writer and third, a teacher. By the grace of God, I’ve somehow become all three! Together with my husband, Scott, we run a small farm, small family business, homeschool our five kiddos, he pastors a church and I work in women’s ministry and still manage to love each other well.

Wednesday's Word: Run and not be Weary

God wants us to wait on Him. To trust in His timing and provision for our lives. To find rest and strength in Him. And with more certainty than I’ve possessed up to this point in my life, I can say, if you can learn to do this, He will provide all you need. You WILL run and NOT grow weary.
