PROMPT: Standing in front of the mirror, she didn’t like what she saw…
Standing in front of the mirror, she didn’t like what she saw, while cleaning her face Rin’s eyes caught her age-old wounds. The red cut mark on her beautiful pink lips reminded her of those 5 years of ill-advised marriage life and the pain of physical abuse. Her beautiful day started falling like a pack of cards, divorced Rin fell back on the bed with teary eyes and questioned “IS THIS MY REWARD FOR LOVING HIM?”
The outside wounds were healed yet the inner wounds were bleeding!
Meanwhile, the voice of God reminded from her morning Bible reading,
“God’s steadfast love endures forever for everyone.”
Rin bloomed and her teary Sunday evening turned into a blissful rainy evening enjoying the pitter-patter raindrops outside, producing the petrichor. Her heart started humming the old English hymn “HE DIDN’T THROW THE CLAY AWAY” in-recognition of the Agape Love that comforted her.

I am feeling her pain through your words. Physical wounds heal but the mental agony that one suffers is really long and sometimes undying. Beautiful story, God bless you.

I am glad my words were able to express the exact emotions. I think God often keeps those of our inner wounds alive so that we will always have the opportunity to give ears to Him and will walk humbly before the LORD since God understands man has the tendency of forgetfulness in comforts.
God bless you too.
