Dunsin Oyekan sang in his recent song Undignified: The number of my scars are the number of my victories; That’s why my praise ca never be the same as yours …. Indeed God in His Sovereignty permits the scars and bruises that we sustain along the pathway of our Christian pilgrimage. The events or circumstances that leaves us with scars and bruises are never pleasant; they are often painful sometimes brings tears and are sometimes accompanied by unpleasantness. The same God who permitted the incidents that brought the pains is the same God who initiated and instituted the process of healing … Oh, that we may delight and find rest in the God who has the different circumstances of our lives under His control. Oh, that our hearts may find total comfort and solace in the unconditional love of this God who remain Lord and God during the times of pains, wounds, bruises and discomfort as well as the times of healing, comfort and solace. He is the God of all seasons and all times.
