“The Scars That Preach"
Every scar tells a story…
Mine whisper of battles I never should’ve survived —
childhood pain, the fog of mental illness, the dark pull of self-harm.
For 20 years, I didn’t believe in God at all.
I was an atheist — angry, logical, numb.
If you’d told me I’d one day talk about Jesus with joy,
I would’ve laughed in your face.
But God wasn’t laughing.
He was waiting.
Watching over a girl who thought she was too broken to fix,
too scarred to save.
Then at 25, He met me in my wreckage —
not with lightning, but with love.
He breathed life into my dry bones
and called me daughter.
Now these scars aren’t shame.
They’re scripture on skin —
proof that resurrection is personal,
that Jesus still reaches into graves and pulls people out.
If you’re reading this and still in the fight —
please don’t give up.
Your story isn’t over.
God is still writing. ✍️
🕊️ Ezekiel 37:1–14 | Isaiah 61:3
