Stop what you're doing right now
& look at yourself. Look at every inch of your body. What do you see? Freckles, birth marks
scars, right? Every reminder of pain, every story is written clearly on your skin. They tell
stories of bicycles, hard cement, & stupid ideas. Every scar, whether it’s on your body or
deep down in your heart, is a sign of healing. Every scrapped knee eventually scabs over.
Every broken heart eventually heals. But here’s the important part. You have to let
yourself heal. You can’t keep ripping out the stitches by reminding yourself of
your flaws, faults, & sins. Healing is a process that you must allow to do.
It’s not always your body’s automatic response.
