Scars Of Love by Lizzybianca402(f): 11:18am On Oct 07, 2019 |
We have scars on us which is the fingernails of the
past. It might not be that of love. Perhaps a painful
past but if you are lucky enough to be without scars
of the painful past then do not judge another
person's scars because you do not how they were
made.
Scars of love
Some years ago on a hot summer day, a little boy
decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole
behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool
water, he ran out the back door, leaving shoes,
socks and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water, not realizing that as he
swam towards the middle of the lake, an alligator
was swimming towards the shores.His mother in
the house was looking out the window and saw the
two as they were getting closer and closer together.
In utter fear, she ran to the water yelling to her son
as loud as she could. Hearing the voice, the boy
made U-turn to swim to his mother but it was too
late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached
him. From the dock, the mother grabbed him by the
arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. The
alligator was much stronger than the mother just as
the mother was much passionate never to let go. A
farmer happened to drive by, stopped and assisted
by shooting the alligator.
Luckily, after weeks in the hospital, the boy
survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the
attack of the animal. And on his arms were deep
scratches of his mother's fingernails dugged into his
flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
When the newspaper reporter came to interview the
boy after the trauma, asked him if would show him
his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And with a
great pride, lifted his arms and said " I have scars
on the arms too but i have them because my
mother wouldn't let go.
You and i can identify with the boy. We have scars
too. Not from an alligator but from a painful past.
Some of those scares are unsightly and have
caused us deep regrets. But, some wounds, dear
reader, are because God wouldn't let go. In the
midst of your struggles, he has been there and
holding on to you.
You are a child of God. He loves you and wants to
protect you. The swimming hole of life is filled with
peril and we forget that the enemy is waiting to
attack. That is when the tug-of-war begins and if
you have his scars on your arms be very grateful.
He did not and will never let you go.
Never judge another person's scares because you
do not know how they were made. |
