SCARS

I implore you to read through this article, it will enlighten you

Tears rolled down my face as I listened to a young lady give her testimony.She had experienced tremendous abuse by pimps, by Jacobs, and even by police officers. She had been physically,emotionally,and verbally abused. She had been rejected and shamed. Basically, she had lived anyone's worst nightmare. Yet she now stood in front of a huge audience, resilient and strong in the lord.She stood there encouraging people to use their pain for God's glory. She encouraged people not to let their scars define them, but to spur them forward in love, forgiveness and humility.

It must have been difficult for her to talk about her past. She could have pretended it never happened. But she did share her scars...
Over the course of her lifetime  she would undoubtedly impact thousands of lives with the power of the gospel.
We all have scars, and those scars have stories. It could be external or internal scars. External scars recall adventures and happy times, but internal,emotional scars bring up much different feelings. Although emotional scars are easier to hide they affect us on a deeper level and take longer to heal

    I know many would have asked why does God allow our heart to suffer and scar?.
1.Scars show the healing power of the Lord. He made the  human body amazingly resilient. For example, when you get a cut, your body immediately goes to work to heal it. It just happens and often, once the body has finished its work and the wound has closed, there is a scar. The scar is evidence of closure. However, when we experience an emotional wound, our body does not naturally go into recovery mode. We have to take an active role in processing what happened and asking the lord for healing. He eases the pain and grant us the ability to forgive the one who hurts us. An emotional wound cannot heal without forgiveness. You must forgive others, you must forgive yourself. Once the lord has helped you  work through the pain, your life will be a compelling testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit.

2.Scars keeps us from repeating mistakes. Scars are meant to remind us of the difficult time so we will.
a) . Not repeat mistakes
b). Be careful not to injure others.

3.Scars allows us to help others.sharing your story(your scars) can actually bless those around you.

4.Scars draw us nearer to Christ. When we remember a wound and the difficulties surrounding it, we also remember the comfort of Christ. He always meet us in our darkest hour.God sometimes allows us to experience difficult situation to sanctify us and draw us closer to him. Psalm 51.

If the pain resurfaces later down the road, run to Christ again. He is always there for us in our time of need and He is bigger than any difficulty we can experience.
DO NOT LET YOUR SCARS DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. God has bigger plans.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
