Immortal scars?

(Gleanings from the Inner Life of Ruth Bryan)

"Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain,
 standing in the center of the throne." Revelation 5:6

Alas! those wondrous wounds! Have they left immortal
scars? Will You, through all eternity, wear those marks
of Your matchless love?

And will You, in those blissful realms, dissolve our souls
in holy rapture and adoring love, by saying, "Look at My
hands and My feet--it is I Myself!" Surely, if anything could
add beauty to that glorious form, it would be, in the eyes of
love, those deep engravings--"I have engraved you upon
the palms of My hands."

I am again almost overcome with love--my Beloved is so
precious! And surely You, O Beloved, are engraved on the
table of my longing heart. Oh, grant another glimpse of
Your surpassing charms! I would sink into Your arms, and
recline on the bosom of Your love!
