What's In The Scars

 

You cry out that there is no God,
For proof you bare your scars,
As if to claim you overrule
The hand that formed the stars.
 
You walk this world in your own pride,
Then wonder why you fall.
You can’t see beyond your next step,
But claim to know it all.
 
Perhaps the fact that you bear scars
Should help you understand
That this world and the path you walk
Are beyond your command.
 
The way is never without pain,
Did you see His life path?
Yet, He loved us enough to shield
Us from our own sin’s wrath.
 
I pray that you will someday find
You’re not the force you see,
But are instead the precious child
Who He’s called you to be.
 
Then you, too, can call out to Him,
Seek Him with all your heart.
Give Him the scars of this life’s sin,
And live in His fresh start.
 
Jeremiah 29:12-13
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
