Turning your Scars to Stars.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to have a heart to heart talk with a friend who shared some experiences she had growing up in which I can never forget in a very long time.
So let me give my friend a stage name as 🤔ummmm "Lydia".🙂
So Lydia was a pretty agile and excited girl growing up, and saturated with a great optimism about life, and everything it had to offer.
But her great walls of optimism and hope came crashing the day her cousin (more like a brother) who she absolutely trusted with everything she had, forcefully took away her innocence- forever....💔💔
Lydia was Broken, Disappointed, Livid, Uncertain, Doubtful about life and all it could offer.😢
This defeated attitude overshadowed her for a long time until she had an encounter with a great friend that changed her perspective about her experience- Forever.
The broken pieces of her life were picked up again by the saviour, softened and remoulded to make something beautiful of her again...
Suddenly Lydia became consumed with a great passion for reaching out to people who have been Broken and helping them go through that and come out Strong..💪
Lydia's story made me come to an Indelible conclusion that sometimes God may allow us to go through somethings in life, not necessarily because of us, but because of the lives that He wants to touch through us.
Listen to me dear one you're stronger than you think you really are, you can still turn that Scar into a Star, you can turn that Pain you feel deep within your heart that breaks you and wrecks you into pieces anytime you think about it into a Pathway of Growth!🏋️
Let me remind you that Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes but by the oppression he encountered, the disappointments experienced and the courage he maintained in his struggle for it.
Please Never stop believing dear one that things are not happening to you, but rather things are happening for you.🙌
Now may the Peace of God that passeth all understanding flow through you like Rivers of Living Water from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet, and may He also perfect everything that concerns you In Jesus Name... Amen.🙏
God bless you!🤗
