Tattoos.

I don't have a problem with tattoos.  I know that some people feel that it is defacing the temple that is your body but I don't really see that.  I mean I get it but I don't really think that if God is weighing the pros and cons of what you have done with your life he is going to be bothered by the fact that you drew on your skin.  It is my opinion that it is more your heart and soul that he is interested in but I digress.

Why do people get tattoos?  It is kind of like getting wallpaper in your house only with wallpaper you can take it down and redo it and tattoos are not going anywhere.  Sure you can have them surgically removed but that hurts like all get out!  I am all about a photo or the name of a loved one.  A date or something that reminds you of an event, bring it on but why would someone put a grocery list on their leg?  I wish I was kidding.  On a woman's thigh in line at the County Clerk yesterday....It read Bread....Milk....Eggs....Shampoo.  That just seems bizarre to me.  What is the point of that?

That's just it though...I don't have to understand.  It is not my position to be judge and jury for this overly forgetful woman who apparently likes french toast and clean hair.  It is a tattoo it does not make her more or less of a person.  She is loved by God just as you are.

We are all the same in God's eyes, he loves us all the same.  It doesn't matter how many bible studies or missions you have organized.  It doesn't matter if you have, in your mind, done something so horrible that you think no one can ever forgive you.  God can!  God will!  You are loved no matter what the world makes you feel like.  You might have gotten a little off track but you are never too far that God can bring you back in.

If you like tattoos go out today and get one somewhere that you will see every day that says God loves me for me!  All you have to do is give him your heart!  You are loved friend!
