The document tells a story of a mother who has scarred arms from saving her daughter from a nursery fire. Each night, the daughter tells her mother she doesn't love her arms. The mother finally explains how she got the scars saving the daughter. That night, the daughter touches and says she loves her mother's arms the most. The conclusion compares Jesus to the mother, with his scarred arms revealing his love from rescuing people from hell.

Scarred Arms
Jesus' scarred arms reveal his love
for us.

2. Every night, the young mother rocked her young 3 year
old daughter to sleep and each night the same
conversation took place between mother and daughter.
The young mother would first tell a story, then say a
prayer for her daughter, and finally hum a lulaby.

3. The daughter would then respond by touching her mother’s soft
hair and saying, “Mommy, your hair is so pretty. I love your hair.”
She would stroke her mother’s cheek and say, “Mommy, your face
is so pretty. I love your face”
Finally, the little girl would point at her mother’s arms and say, “But
Mommy, your arms are ugly. I don’t love your arms.”

4. This bedtime ritual went on night after night.
Then one evening, after the little girl had once
again told her mother that she did not love her
arms, the mother decided it was time to tell
her daughter the story of her scarred arms.

5. The mother gently explained, “When you were a baby,
there was a fire in the nursery. You were trapped in your
crib and would have surely burned to death. But I heard
you crying, ran into the room, and had to reach through
the flames in order to save you from the fire. The fire
burned mommy’s arms very badly and that is why my
arms are so ugly.”

6. The child thoughtfully nodded. A couple minutes passed. The
mother assumed that her daughter was probably too young to
understand.
Then the little girl began her nightly ritual and began by
touching her mother’s soft hair.
“Mommy, your hair is so pretty. I love your hair.”

7. As usual, she stroked her mother’s cheek and said, “Mommy, your
face is so pretty. I love your face”
Then, for the first time in the little girl’s life, she reached down and
began to gently caress her mother’s arms and said, “Mommy, your
arms are prettiest of all. I really love your arms.”
Jesus is just like that mother with disfigured arms.

8. He has reached through the fires of hell to rescue you from
the crib of death.
His scarred arms are beautiful because they reveal how
much he loves you and what it cost him to save you from
the flames.
