Ritual Abuse and Scars

[Bluerose31]

I am having a hard time coping with the scars that I have on my body from my ritual abuse and torture. I feel deformed and sad about them. I know one day in heaven I will have a new healed body and no longer will have the scars. Knowing that helps me. Silver used to use a knife and cut me on my arms and legs. She would watch me in pain but not stop hurting me. I have forgiven her and I pray for her daily but my scars are bad reminders of the past.

"that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained." Philippians 3:10-16
