The healing of the soul is not without scars anymore than the resurrection of Jesus erased His scars. Scars remain. Sometimes the hurt never goes completely away. You live with it. Your greater healing comes when you live intentionally with the One who was hurt more than you can ever fathom. He was wounded in the house of His friends! When a sufferer walks with the Suffering Servant there is kinship and true fellowship.
“He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.” Isaiah 53:2b-4 (NASB)
