Sutures are used to bind two edges of a wound. In time, the sutures are removed and the wound is healed. All that remains is a scar—a thin line where the skin was divided, and a row of tiny dots where the sutures joined the two separate parts. What is a scar, but a reminder of a past hurt—of a period of separation. Look at your scar and see it this way. Focus not on what was a cleft, but on the tiny dots along the edge where—with the help of a greater force—all was joined as one.
Healing takes place when two sides are brought together. There is fusion and bonding. You need only allow the healing to take place. If you struggle, separation again occurs. The sutures help to keep things in place. Do your part to help heal all wounds. Do not add to the struggle, merely apply the balm of love liberally and healing will take place.
