Beautiful Wounds

Good week,
Ever given thought to such paradox of words? Beautiful = having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction; delighting the senses or mind;wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying.
Wounds = An injury, especially one in which the skin or another external surface is torn, pierced, cut, or otherwise broken.

How do these two go together? If you begin to think in the realm beyond of our own little bubble and to know that one person is the perfect picture of this paradox. Waking up to the reality of today, i am a sinner, yes FORGIVEN, but still a sinner. And to know that the "son of light", beauty of all beauties takes on the injury, broken, torn, pierced for you and I.

These lyrics ring strong today....
Soul, do not be worried
Heart, be not afraid
Just think on those beautiful wounds
The thorns and the nails have made.

Living in the reality of HIS love....
