My choice and yours, at this moment of truth when we stand before God, does not in any way alter the fact that only one price remains acceptable to God: the price paid by His own Son Jesus Christ who, though faultless and undeserving, chose to die on the cross in our place - taking my sin and your sin on Himself saying, "Father! They can't pay the price! I will pay it for them! I love them so much that I offer Myself to die in their place! I take the punishment of their sin upon Me! The price is paid, Father! Do not hold it against them!" If you accept that this is true, you may remain standing before God, and praise and adoration for such Love will flood your heart with Joy as you've never known before!

It is upon this one choice that the healing for the wounds is available - the wounds from my sin. Jesus Christ has wiped out the penalty for my sin, but the most horrible consequences to still deal with are the scars the sin has left upon me. I may be standing next to you in church, openly rejoicing that my sin is dealt with, but I will do my best to keep my scars hidden because I find them so hideous and ugly. There is healing, my friend, even for the scars.
