David has a bad habit of always picking at his scabs. A simple little scratch may takes months to heal because he won't leave it alone. His recent "injury" was a pimple on the side of his nose that left a little scab after it popped. That little scab is now a little larger than a pencil eraser. Each day I admonish David to leave it alone, and each day he picks at it a little more.
In our own lives, we have tendency to pick at the "scabs" of hurts we face. Someone does something that hurts us or upsets us and we forgive them, but we pick at the hurt and never really let it heal. As a child, something horrific might have happened to destroy our innocence, but as an adult we still mull over the incident never allowing it to heal.
Let's make today the day we all decide to allow our wounds to heal. A healed scar is better than an open wound!

Good thoughts! Its good to "see"
that God cares and helps us to heal our inside wounds .
Noel,
Yes, inside scabs are harder to
heal than outside scabs. It is harder because the inside scabs have to do with our emotions. That is when the verses
Prov. 3:5-6 can become a reality. Trusting God to take care of your deepest wounds. Sometimes it takes longer to heal an inside wound, but God is SO merciful
and patient with us. Thank you Jesus for your Love and Patience!!!
God Bless You Noel. These little
stories have been a real blessing
to me!!! You have taken GOOD
care of your brother!!!
