Description
In this book, Healed Wounds, But Ugly Scars, wounds and scars are used as metaphors for the consequences of wrong choices. Wounds refer to the consequences that are still fresh, and scars symbolize the lasting effects of past decisions and actions.
Every human being carries some scars. In our journey through life, we are often injured physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Some of the wounds that caused the scars are self-inflicted, whiles others were caused by other people. Even after we are healed, the scars still remain—and some of them are very ugly.
Scars tell stories, and the stories can be painful. They include lasting effects resulting from missed and neglected opportunities, broken hearts, failed relationships and marriages, painful betrayals and hurts, disappointing outcomes, and dashed hopes. The scars also expose the hidden experiences of rejection, fear, doubt, ruined health and finances, loss of innocence, shipwrecked faith, lifelong regrets, and more.
But although scars tell sad and tragic stories, scars don't bleed anymore. They don’t have to bleed anymore. Scars are there to remind us that once fresh wounds are now healed. Rightly perceived, scars can inspire us to move on with our lives.
The primary purpose of this book is to help us avoid needless wounds—and the scars that result from them. In other words, the book is intended to caution against making wrong choices in our journey through life—choices that have far-reaching consequences upon ourselves and others. Healed Wounds, But Ugly Scars is also written to help us retrace our steps back to healing, after we have experienced the painful wounds of sin—either self-inflicted or caused by someone else. More importantly, the book is designed to lead us to the Wounded Healer, the One who alone can help us live with our ugly scars.
