Re: Scars

LC, I received this story several years ago, and it is a very powerful example of our heavenly father's love and perseverance for us.

The Apostle Paul said "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." I know that we often hear that the Apostle was speaking of the literal scars that he had received from the beatings and torture that he endured for the name of Christ, however, I think he may also have been speaking of the "marks" of God refusing to let go. There have been many times in my life when I just wanted to give up and throw in the towel, and I'd like to think that I also have some scars where my dad just wouldn't let go! Thank You for the scars that remind me, and thank you most of all, for not letting me go!
