“Truly, your scars has a story but what would it be?. This is the question Gbemisola asked the congregation as she was preaching to them. These were women who had been abused, came from broken homes, had heartbreaks, Health issues, etc. And some are still struggling with them.
She asked the congregation again, and they were all silent. She touched the voice of their minds by asking such question because they are women whose scar has dictated how they should live their lives. They do not even know they are anymore because they were ruled by the mentality of their scars.
Gbemisola broke the silence by saying, “Every scars has a story, what would yours tell?. What will become of the scars”. She continued. “I want the scars to tell of how you have overcomed, of how you made it through, of where you have come from.
I want your scars to whisper about the pain you failed, about this very hard time, about the marathon you raced”. She was not through talking before half of the congregation weeped seriously.
Gbemisola spoke out of experience because she had been there and she knows how it feels. She advised them to let their scars be an evidence that there is a loving lord, who fought their scary battles and on whose wings they soared. The tears could not stop but she continued with her words. Let your scars proclaim that all things work for good, that they can not do it themselves but by God's grace. Let them take a look, let them see that your scars shows God is great. Let it points to Him and not you.
As she rounded up, she smiled to them and said, “Beautiful, excellent and wonderful women, mostly I want your scars to speak of something greater. I want it to shout about the living creator. Then she prayed with them and she dropped the microphone. As she stepped down, everyone stood up and celebrated her for the impactful words and she honoured and blessed them.
Do not be ashamed of your scars, *IT HAS A GREATER STORY TO SAY THAN THE WAY YOU SEE IT.* .I love you all!!!.
