Scars - I Am They

A friend sent me this song months ago now. I figure the fact that it hasn't really stopped wrecking me yet is probably a good sign.

Some people (me included) have physical scars that show how far they have come. Others, have emotional scars that they can "see."

As I think about the line in the first verse "Wouldn't trade it for anything, 'Cause my brokenness brought me to You, And these wounds are stories You'll use" I realize that I can spend a lot of days wondering what life would be like without those scars, but that they really are a part of me, and are the things that brought me to Jesus.

I remember my friend Aerika looking at my scars one night and saying "Wendy, God has a plan to use those..." and doubting. My faith was in a rough spot, I was really down on myself. I didn't think God could possibly use someone as broken as me. But truly, without those scars I wouldn't know God's heart. It has allowed me a glimpse into His love for me. And really - it's just an amazing reminder of how His scars have changed my life as well.

I can see, I can see
How You delivered me
In Your hands, in Your feet
I found my victory
I can see, I can see
How You delivered me
In Your hands, in Your feet
I found my victory

I'm thankful for Your scars
Cause without them I wouldn't know Your heart
And with my life I'll tell of who You are
So forever I am thankful
