All throughout our lives we have been told:

1. Crying is not allowed.

2. Keep your pain to yourself.

3. Never let others know when you are weak.

We live in a world that calls failure a weakness, and weakness a flaw. We are taught to mask the truth because, “it’s better if you keep that to yourself”, and that the best way to lead is from our strengths. 

If I can be honest, I think our world has built itself on a shallow and narrow foundation, ready to break at any second. I know this is just my opinion, but I think I have a valid point. 

I believe in a God of Grace, love and second chances. And if it wasn’t for those divine qualities working together, I wouldn’t be standing here today. 

I wear my scars on my sleeve because I am proud of who I’ve become, not who I use to be. Those scars remind me that with God, I can conquer all things. And through Him healing is possible. 

Although my failures and mistakes are NOT my most treasured moments; Because of His Love, I now have a living testimony of redemption and grace. 

You’re story, is His glory. Share it to the world and be proud of your scars.

Don’t hide your scars, wear them as proof that God heals.
