Swiss pastor-theologian, Henri Nouwen, said that Christ is the model of the wounded healer. He took on our flesh with its inherent pain and suffering to bring God's healing and forgiveness to us.
When we are wounded by the trials of life, we become more able to understand and empathize with others who are going through struggles of their own. I'm not such a spiritual giant that I can pray for the Lord to send me trials and wounding so that I can be better at sharing His healing, but I do pray that the Lord will use the scars in my life to bring healing to others.
