- Religion & Spirituality
Episode Summary
How often in our lives do we attempt to hide the scars of our past failures and defeats? We find shame in these perceived “imperfections” which makes us want to hide them from others.
In Isaiah 61:3, we see an image of Christ who came “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Instead of running from the scars of our past, we need to learn to see them as beauty marks; To embrace them, and tell the stories of God’s faithfulness in our times of defeat.
