We all have liabilities. We all have scars. It is how we view them that will change our hearts. It is what we do with them that will change our lives. What is your story? Are you ready to experience the power of God working through your life as you share with others those beautiful scars in your life? Are you longing for a life-changing experience? Read this last instalment from "Your Scars are Beautiful to God" by Sharon Jaynes.
Book Review (by Belinda Elliott of CBN.com)
Beauty From Ashes
Author : Sharon Jaynes
Often, if we allow Him to, God will use our deepest hurt to develop our greatest ministry. The reason our scars can be beautiful, she says, is because God gives us opportunities to invest in other people because of the struggles we’ve gone through ourselves.
For this reason, we should not despair when we experience painful circumstances. Rather, we should look for how God may want to use those circumstances.
Jaynes says, “I’ve learned over the years to stop saying, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ Instead, I say to God, ‘Okay, what now?’ This is a shattered dream, now what do I do with it? Where do I go from here?”
If we allow God to replace our wounds with scars, and we are willing to use them to help others, He will redeem even our most painful experiences.
Jaynes says, "Satan wants to use our past to paralyze us. God wants to use our past to propel us. The choice is ours."
Hope this book review has shown you how you can recognise Jesus through your scars, remove your mask & release the power of healed wounds. Give your wounds to the One who sees your beauty & who can turn your pain into purpose and heartaches into hope.
nothing can separate us from the love of God,
