How Do I Deal With Emotional Scars? Series

Let me end with one final truth from Romans 12:

III. FAITH WINS

When it comes to the scars no one can see…healing takes place when we focus on others…forgive the debt and allow Faith to win.

When we choose to be yoked to Jesus so the world’s evil doesn’t overcome us…and instead we overcome evil with good…FAITH WINS!

[I had a really good friend named Malcolm that I baptized into Christ a few years ago. He had an inoperable brain tumor. We prayed continually for God to heal him…and yet God hasn’t chosen to do so. Malcolm has a wife named Marcella…2 daughters…the oldest with grandchildren…His youngest is 13. Malcolm had to get to a place where he dealt with the unfairness of this situation…It didn’t seem fair. We sat in a restaurant a few weeks back and he told me he had been writing legacy letters (letters for occasions that he probably wouldn’t live to see). He said the hardest was to his 13 year old daughter for her wedding…He cried telling me about it…I cried while he was telling me about it…But he said, one of the benefits of knowing you’re gonna die is that you don’t waste opportunities…and I know that if I don’t give her away…here…she’ll have no doubt I’m in Heaven watching.]

Here’s the truth…Faith wins.
