Scars

Scars are a reminder of an old wound.  Unfortunately they are always there to remind us of the pain we once felt.  Emotional scars are the same way. They remind us of past pains.  Sometimes we think we have made it past the hurt and have forgiven anyone involved and then you see someone who was a part of that scarring and the pain comes running back in again.  It is so hard...I can understand why forgiving is such a big deal and that it is a continual struggle to let go of those scars and to move on, being the Christ-like person we would like to be.  I, myself, struggled with this this weekend.  I question, why do I feel so angry still?  And then, another incident from the past popped up.  Both of these incidents were things that hurt my girls.  I have decided that there is no wrath like the wrath of a Mom and that I need to pray to get over these things.  I really did not think I was the type of person to hold a grudge....but now that I recognize it...I must change it!  And I will through prayer and forgiveness!
