On a hot summer day in South Florida, a boy decided to go swimming in the lagoon behind his house. He ran out the back door, threw himself in the water and swam happy. He didn't realize that a crocodile was getting close to his mom from the house looking out the window, and he saw with horror what was going on.
He immediately ran to his son yelling at him as hard as he could.
Hear, the kid got alarmed and looked at his mom. But it was too late.
From the pier the mother grabbed the boy by his arms just when the alligator grabbed her legs. The woman pulled determined, with all the strength of her heart. The Crocodile was stronger, but the mother was much more passionate and her love did not leave her. A gentleman who heard the screams hastened to the place with a gun and killed the crocodile. The boy survived and even though his legs suffered enough, he could still walk.
When he got out of trauma, a reporter asked the boy if he wanted to show him the scars on his feet.
The boy lifted the quilt and showed them. But then, with great pride, he his sleeves and pointing to, the scars on his arms said to him: "but those that you should see are these". were the marks of his mother's nails that had pressed hard. "I got 'em because mom didn't let me loose and save my life"
We also have the scars of a painful past.
Some are caused by our sins, but some are the mark of God that has sustained us with strength so that we do not fall into the clutches of evil.
Remember that if you ever hurt the soul, it's because God has grabbed you too hard so you don't fall.
