My Story - His Glory

On my drive to work this morning, I was listening to the Message channel on satellite radio. There was a song by Matthew West called "My Story - Your Glory." As I listened to the words, one phrase really stuck out for me. ".... my scars are part of Your plan."

I thought about that. I have a lot of scars. Some big ones, like over a foot long, where I had my kidney surgery, and lots of smaller scars. Each scar tells a story. My hands have been cut, smashed, and burned a lot over the years. In fact, I have little feeling in my hands; they have been so abused by working on engines. There have been many times when I work, I will see blood on the floor, and I look at my hands to see where I was cut. I have said, "If you aren't bleeding, you aren't wrenching." Anyway, I digress.

That phrase in the song I heard this morning has real meaning for me. I thank God for every scar and for the fact that I still have full use of my hands and all my fingers. As the song says, "My Story - His Glory."
