The Scars of Love

Scars of living beauty
deep healing of the soul,
pain embraced through mercy
with love that makes me whole.

Pretty road now broken
for the richer path I know,
learning through connection
so, more of His love show.

Choosing to see the blessing
in the moulding by His hands,
joy deeper than the surface
through love one understands.

Character now is forming
shaped by God's direction,
not easy but the sacred
His love in my reflection.

Scars of living beauty
caused by His love - not nails,
bleeding hope into sorrows
with love that covers - my fails.
