I love the song by Jonny Diaz. I think it is called Scars. I will try and post it as a link, but not sure if it will post.

One of the lines of the song is as follows.

Praise God we don't have to hide scars.
they just strengthen our wounds, and they soften our hearts.
They remind us of where we have been, but not who we are
So praise God, praise God we don't have to hide scars.

This song so speaks to me. So often I am embarrassed and ashamed of the stretch marks that scar my body. A constant reminder of my undisciplined and gluttonous ways. But this song reminds me, that is who I was, not who I am. AMEN!

Watch the Youtube video and listen. Healing can take place, if we let it!

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
