“For if anyone be in Christ, you are a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

In a village in the Loire Valley of France stands a five hundred year old church. The stone one one side is smooth as if it has known nothing but peace and tranquility. The other side tells a different story as it is filled with pockmarks from the ravages of war. Yet there is a beauty to the old cathedral. Scars nor age has diminished its effectiveness to keep the wind and the rain from the parishioners, or its grandeur as a love testament by its builders to God. So how’s your life? Scarred? Bruised? Have a few cracks here and there in testament to having been alive?

God Has A Miraculous Way Of Making Us Into A Beautiful Mosaic.

Perhaps it’s time to realize that your life scars are really a tapestry of amazing colors and experiences that you can use to help others. A famous minister once said, “turn your scars into stars”. For no matter what you are going through today, someone else needs the encouragement that only you and your scars can provide.
