What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

View all responses

No tattoo can:

• Heal your hurting heart;
• Fill you with inner peace;
• Assure you that you’re forgiven;
• Set you free from guilt;
• Restore broken relationships;
• Thrill you with a fountain of joy;
• Make you feel valued and loved;
• Get rid of loneliness;
• Create mental health;
• Drive away all shame;
• Make your life meaningful;
• Give you a powerful purpose;
• Be the anchor for your life,
• Cause you to feel better about your body.

But the risen Jesus can! Jesus has done all of those things for me. Why would I want a tattoo?

Excitement about Jesus can’t be taught to the mind or tattooed on your arm. It is caught by a humble, hungry heart.

Feel your pulse. If it’s pumping, it’s proclaiming that you have a purpose.

Religious explanation instructs the mind. Inner revelation heals the heart. “Hear what the Spirit is saying.” Let the living Jesus tattoo your heart with His eternal presence!

Make it your goal
To always surrender
To Christ’s control.

Religious thought
Can be taught
But relationship
With the risen Christ
Needs to be sought.
With all your heart.

When the rooster crowed defeat
And Peter saw his faith retreat
He wept bitterly,
Broken hearted by his denial
Of Jesus the Christ.
Peter’s failure is universal.
We all have denied Christ,
If not with words with action.
Not it’s time for reversal.
Like Peter we can turn back
To Christ’s love and forgiveness
And follow Jesus with passion
And Spirit-led interaction.
