Episode Summary:

In this episode of the Sacred Scar Story Series on Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I had the opportunity to talk with Becky Beresford about a significant time in her life when things didn’t go as she hoped and meticulously planned. She experienced physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual pain. She shares how her first pregnancy was fraught with complications, leading to grief, loss, and deep wounds. Becky discusses how she learned to trust God through her struggles and how He brought healing, leaving her with beautiful sacred scars as a reminder of His faithfulness.

Quotables from the episode:

  • Jesus is good and with us in our suffering.
  • If it weren’t for my scars, I wouldn’t know Jesus like I do.
  • When life turned out the opposite of what we prayed for, I had to heal from the inside out.
  • God uses our seasons of painful darkness to bring comfort to others.
  • Joy and grief can and often are intertwined.
  • Scars remind me what God brought me through.
  • The enemy kept telling me “You’re not enough.” The truth is, I’m not enough, but God is enough.
  • Satan tried to define me by what I considered my failures but my God is bigger.
  • God shines through my weakness.
  • God is so faithful and he got me through the hardest time of my life, and now my scars are a reminder of what he has done.
  • Rainbows aren’t actually arches, but rather, full circles. Rainbows can only be seen from a higher perspective, and God’s promises are still true even when I can’t see the whole picture.
