Episode Summary:

In this episode we continue the “Sacred Scar Story Series.” My guest, Georgia Shaffer, shares the pain of a broken engagement and what she thought that meant for her ministry and service to God. She shares the beautiful sacred scar that her wounds have produced, and how God is using her in the lives of others.

 

Quotables from the episode:

  • Shame from the actions of another made me feel like there was “something wrong with me!” I felt like a fool, and believed I was unlovable.
  • Because of the pain I went through, I was sure God would never use me again.
  • Healing came when I got involved in a supportive community that helped me to focus on the truth of God’s word.
  • I learned I had to take my focus off the pain, and place my full focus on God.
  • Painful trials make us more powerful because we can relate to the suffering of others.
  • When you’re in a painful trial that you had no control over, don’t isolate, take time to grief, and seek out a supportive community with whom you can process your pain.
  • In my painful circumstances, I learned what God can do.
  • Pain is an opportunity for growth.
