Everyone has scars…even Jesus
This past Sunday’s sermon talked about how God’s will is so amazing for us, and how we should not miss out on His best for us by being disobedient to His word and doing things on our own. God knows and wants what is best for us. Yet, we miss out by not seeking the wisdom of His word, and we do things our way - and often yield to the temptations of this world. We make poor decisions. We get hurt. We get in over our head. We can get to the point of no longer being able to do anything about it - even wanting to give up. But don’t ever believe the lie that you’ve gone too far. Just cry out to God for help and he’ll be there for you, whether you’ve messed up for the first time, or the hundredth time.
Are you feeling like you’ve messed up too much? Do the scars of your past keep you down? Just remember that Jesus has scars too. And by His wounds we are healed…
Healed - Nichole Nordeman 
We stutter and we stammer ’til You say us
A symphony of chaos ’til You play us
Phrases on the pages of unknown
‘Til You read us into poetry and prose
We are kept and we are captive ’til You free us
Vaguely unimagined ’til You dream us
Aimlessly unguided ’til You lead us home
By Your voice, we speak
By Your strength, no longer weak
We are no longer weak
By Your wounds we are healed
By Your wounds we are healed
Passed over and passed by until You clean us
Orphaned and abandoned ’til You name us
Hidden and disclosed ’til You expose our hearts
By Your death we live
It is by Your gift that we might give
That we might give
By Your wounds we are healed
By Your wounds we are healed
What kind of love would take your shame
And spill His blood for you
And save us by His wounds?
