Devotion FOUR: Living With a Tattoo

Have we experienced hurts so deep that it has become like a tattoo on our souls? Or guilts, regrets and bitter heartache we wish we could put behind us?

One way or another, I believe we have experienced some kind of pain or regrets in our lives. But are they controlling our present and future?

Psalm 103:2-5
2Bless the Lord...forget not all His benefits, 3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Some of us may have experienced abuse as a young child, went through struggles that most others may not have gone through. We may feel undignified as a result, and wished we could relive it in a better way.

Surely we cannot begin again in time. No one can go back to the starting line in the race of life and tell God "Lord, I pray this accident might not have happened."

Like holes life in the wall after nailes have been removed, the gaping wounds of sin often leave ugly sores. GOD wants to bandage our open wounds so that they might be healed. Our past need not control our present nor future. It is never too late to do what is right; never to late to live our remaining days for God.

The healing process may be long and wounds may never seemed to be healed. But, know that, our Father above is more than willing to bandage our open wounds so that they might be healed. Also, what have you gone through that our Jesus hadnt while He was on earth?
