Old Scar. New Day.

"The day of God's mercy had dawned, and the night was over. Jacob was standing in the promised land, for he had found God and his soul was restored. But, of course, the signs of the night, which remind him of new nights to come, were still there. He limped because of his hip, says the Bible. That means he could not forget his past. It had cost him a great deal to enter the promised land, to receive God's blessing. One doesn't go into God's land without scars..." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1932)
