It's one thing to be married, it's another thing to understand what marriage is all about. It's one thing to be a man, it's another thing to know how to handle the complexities of a woman. Shola's husband was not just married to a complex woman, he was married to a lady whose past has added extra complexity which she herself could not handle, and the best way to deal with such issue is to love and care beyond measure. Despite Shola's attitude, her husband did not stigmatize or victimize her. Rather, he showered her with more love and attention than she could ever imagine. He was patient enough with her to walk her through her past. "For better for worse... that was what I signed." He told himself. There were times he made attempts and Shola still denied him, making his efforts fruitless. But, he didn't give up on his wife, and Shola also tried so much from her end to put her past behind her. One evening, after watching the news, Shola walked to her husband's study room. "They have arrested him" She said, looking a little bright and fulfilled. "Arrested who?" Tade asked, a little surprised. Shola looked at her husband blankly without knowing how to explain what she just saw in the news. "SERIAL RAPIST ARRESTED WHILE TRYING TO RAPE A TEENAGER" The news broadcaster had said. The picture shown was a little older, but Shola could still remember the face that very night at the club. The arrest of her rapist helped Shola greatly to deal with her past, and sooner than later, the couples began to get along with each other, and their marriage was eventually consummated. Shola had learnt to see her husband as a different person from the type of man who raped her years ago. She had learnt to trust his touch and affection, and the harmlessness that comes with them. Her husband also did not rest on his oars by taken Shola for granted. He didn't cease to shower a great portion of love and affection on her, and it was just a matter of time before they both reaped the fruit of their labour. A year after, the couples were celebrating their one month old baby girl, and looking back, they both knew it was not an easy fight.
----------EPILOGUE----------
No doubt, many people are living with scars all over them, and as for some, it's just one big scar which might even be in a very obvious position. The truth is, every now and then, these scars bleed heavily, thereby causing serious pains and agony, eventhough the injury was caused long ago. The scars could be emotional, which might have come through heartbreak or loose of loved ones. It could even be financial, as a result of loosing a huge amount of money. The scar could as well be marital. As for me, I don't care to know what the scar maybe. I don't even care to know how often the scar might bleed. One major thing I care about is telling you that the scar could eventually stop bleeding, and not only would it stop bleeding, it certainly would be restored back to the very flesh it was before the injury. Only JESUS can make this happen. Only Him can stop your bleeding scars, and replace it with His own body which would never ever bleed. Why not take your bleeding scars to Him right NOW???
