Wounds Still Visible

Fellow Labourers-

How deep and how visible are our wounds? Are our wounds emotional and hidden to the eyes? Are our attitudes manifestations of our wounds? Whether we see the wounds or its manifestation, they are still visible. The problem with the manifestation is that it has the ability to hide the real you. In other words, you are wearing a mask. Remember masks are not permanent and the longer we wear them the longer it takes for us to see the wounds we are hiding. Jesus was not afraid to show his wounds because they were proof of his resurrection. Could you be hiding a wound that if exposed would release you from years of mental torture?

Sometimes our sordid past is only visible to us for a purpose. Yes we may be carrying wounds still visible only to us as a reminder of our frailty. Let us not treat all wounds as equal, but let us find the purpose. "From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the mark of the Lord Jesus."

Pax Vobiscum
