Broken

I'm sorry that I forget to write. I should be better about it.


There's this quote that I really enjoy and I'd like to share it with you:
"Out of Suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." - Kahlil Gibran


I have gone through a time recently where I was ashamed of the scars in my past. The hurts, the emotional scars, the physical scars, and just the memories were too much for me to deal with. I had forgotten that the scars are there for a reason. They are not there to hold me back. They are there to show me the future. To help others. I shouldn't be ashamed of the things that have made me into who I am, but I should embrace them and move forward.

I had a great morning with some friends and they reminded me of this. I can't remember the whole song, but there's a line that says "in our brokenness complete". We are whole in Him. Completely.

He is amazing.
