There are wounds in the heart that we must bear as a warrior bears his scars. But remember, where the sword has pierced, the skin grows stronger. To have never been wounded is to never have been born. We are all brought into this world to be trained and tested. We are brought to the edge of the sword to be pierced to the quick. For where we are tested to the limit is where we find our true power and our gift.

Do not fear or resist the testing for it is in the testing that you will hone your skill and make yourself strong.
