I'm at a lost for words today.  So many things are going on, yet I'm not compelled to write about them, therefore, I'm just going to write some of the lyrics to the song that has been stuck in my head for 2 days.  It's called " Your Love Never Fails"  It kind of sums up my mood.

"Nothing can separate.  Even if I run away.  Your love never fails.  I know I still make mistakes.  You have new mercy for me everyday.  Cause your love never fails.

You stay the same through the ages.  Your love never changes.  There may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning.  And when the oceans rage, I don't have to be afraid.  Because I know that You love me.  Your love never fails.

The wind is strong and the water's deep, but I'm not alone here in these open seas.  Cause your love never fails.  The chasm is far too wide.  I thought I'd never reach the other side, but Your love never fails.

You make all things work together for my good."

Show Your Scars

Last Sunday at church, we were challenged to roll up our sleeves and show our scars.  What exactly does that mean?  Well, to me it means to be willing to tell others your story, and share with them your past, your guilt, your pain, and the healing you have found through the grace of our Savior.

If you are like me, you feel so ashamed of your sins, and feel unworthy of such love.  Sunday, I was reminded that because of His death, we are worthy of the grace offered to us.  He makes us worthy.  "Our badness can never outweigh His goodness."

Jesus had scars on his hands and feet from the cross.  They were the evidence of His love for us.   Think about it.  Scars show us the healing of the wound.  We shouldn't hide ours, but tell others how Christ healed us and set us free from the shame.  We were shown forgiveness and grace, and because of that we shouldn't be ashamed.

So, let's not hide our scars, but tell others, so they too can be healed through the shed blood of our Savior.
