What do scars represent

But what is the reason for this? It really comes down to two elements: wound care and genetics. Wound care signifies the act of taking care of your wound by cleaning, protecting, and using an antibacterial ointment to help it heal. The second element, genetics, is something we have no control over as we do with proper wound care. People with darker skin tones, for instance, are at greater risk for keloid scars.

What determines scar color? Scars can appear as a myriad of different colors: red, purple, white, or brown. The color of a scar is a good indicator of how old the scar is in its life cycle. A red or purple scar is likely a newer scar that is still experiencing the effects of the wound healing process.

During the wound-healing process, the body sends signals to direct more blood flow to the injured area. This, in effect, helps to transport vital oxygen and nutrients that help the wound heal.

Wound healing is also marked by inflammation, which can cause your scar to appear swollen, painful, and discolored. In most cases, a red or purple scar will fade over time sometimes up to a year. However, if you are someone who develops keloids or hypertrophic scars, you may be stuck with a discolored scar for much longer.

But He upgraded any dream I had in a husband or in a man. Healing is not about just always getting what you want. I now more than ever know that all my scars serve a purpose. Through that cross, the ways of the world have been crucified as far as I am concerned. And I have been crucified as far as the ways of the world are concerned. What really counts is that the new creation has come. May peace and mercy be given to all who follow this rule. May peace and mercy be given to the Israel that belongs to God.

From now on, let no one cause trouble for me. My body has marks that show I belong to Jesus. Because they are a badge of honor! Our scars are documented proof that we are indeed worthy of being called a child of God. Jesus had some scars, when Jesus rose from the dead — Thomas needed proof. He needed to see the scars in Jesus hands and side.

These scars became part of the fabric of evidence to prove that the Resurrection was not a rumor or a figment of his imagination brought about by grief and denial. The Resurrection was real. To Thomas, that is what the scars of Jesus meant — the Resurrection is real, and because the Resurrection was real it was documented proof that when we suffer with Him we have victory through Him. Yes, we may have been hurt at one time; people may have criticized us and spoken evil about us — even Christians.

JOHN I must put my finger where the nails were. I must put my hand into his side. Only then will I believe. Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. See my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe. Blessed are those who have not seen me but still have believed. Instead, He chose to keep them.

He had a message for us. We also share his comfort. If we are having trouble, it is so that you will be comforted and renewed. If we are comforted, it is so that you will be comforted. Then you will be able to put up with the same suffering we have gone through. Our hope for you remains firm. We know that you suffer just as we do. In the same way, God comforts you just as he comforts us. When Jesus appeared to His disciples, they did not recognize Him when He walked in the room until He showed them His scars.

God uses the scars in our life to show others Jesus. I have many scars most emotional. I am still living with my husband of 42 years who has been emotionally abusive to me. He has had numerous affairs. But always proclaims his love for me. So twisted. I believe him to be a narcissist as he think only if himself. Should I leave. Should I just keep staying. Lately he has been better. He suffers from depression and that brings me down.

I find peace in the Lord but my home is not God focused. What does God think if this and will he release me of the bitterness I feeel at times. It is not good for me to feel this way. I have thought about divorce but we have grandchildren that would be hurt as they live us both. I am so confused. I lobe the Lord.
