Your Scars Tell The Story Of God's Work
What God has brought a believer through can become evidence of His work and a testimony of His faithfulness.
Scripture
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Truth
God can use what His people have endured and how He has sustained them to become a testimony of His work and faithfulness.
Insight

- What God has rebuilt in a person's life can become a reason for worship rather than shame.

Application
- Remember what God has brought you through and give Him the glory.
