emerging from the little while

What is true liberation without the stripping of everything that is holding you back? The freedom experienced only when the shiny, seductive, and stunning are revealed to be fleeting and temporary. The cry of your heart as the tools are inserted to remove the idols so deeply rooted. For a little while all you feel is the torture and the tearing of the flesh in search for the enemy decaying everything within. You must hold on for there is hope waiting for you in the end. Patching the bare flesh is the seal of our most high God. Some call it a scar, but with how much love is it truly made? We think it defiles our complexion but isn't it a process to make us into something even more beautiful? A new creation. Christ too had scars, and because of his ours can heal. And in this journey we find the redemption that is provided always, but only, by our God.
