God is able to turn scars into stars.

There are times in our lives when we have "scars" These are events that affect our lives in profound ways. These events that rise up and challenge us, and the results linger for a long time, even a lifetime. These events can be so overwhelming, that they
leave "scars." These are memories and feelings that stay with us. If we allow them, they can control us and keep us stuck in the past. We might feel that we can't move past the scars on to healing. The scars will come, but they need not remain. God's power is greater than pain that we suffer. God reminds us that He will bring us through those rough times that we face. God is a God of restoration; He is able to work all things together for good.(Roman 8:28) What might be painful scars, God is able to turn into bright stars.

Each one of us will face our own share of scars. We are not promised that we will not be free of them. The scars come in different forms, and affect people in different ways. There are those who overcome, and move on. Others never get past the past, and the memories torment them. Those who still struggle with their scars, struggle with both hopelessness and despair. They want both peace and healing from their pain.

The pain of scars sometimes never seem to heal, and seems to get worse. Are there scars in your life that never seem to go away? Has there been a painful experience that is tormenting you now? Have you wondered if there's going to be any healing and peace? May you've struggled with your faith, and have wondered why God hasn't given you any peace.

If there is no healing for the hurt and the pain, then feelings of hopelessness and defeat remain. We can either allow the feelings of hopelessness to remain, or we can rise above our feelings. We cannot do this on our own. God is able to bring us through the dark days. With faith in Him, we find healing for the scars. He is able to turn scars into stars.

God gives healing for the scars that we bear. God first healed the scars that were left by sin. How did He do this? He did it through the cross of His Son. Through the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ, the stain of sin was removed. Through the blood, there is healing. Through faith, we have the healing balm of forgiveness, and the comfort and peace that Christ gives.

God is able to heal the scars that come into our lives. As we face the scars in our lives, we are reminded in the Scriptures that God works for our good.(Romans 8:28) God knows what to do with our scars. He won't let them fester. He'll bless us. He'll heal us over time. He'll turn our scars into stars. He'll make us shine through all of our struggles. When we shine bright, then we can give witness to others and point them to the God who is able to turn scars into stars.
