Tatoo On My Heart

                                                              
                                                                           Motto
                                                   1. a word, phrase, or sentence inscribed on something, as expressive of its character.
                                                   2. a maxim adopted as a principle of behavior.

I choose not to have a tatoo on my body, however, I have chosen this motto to be forever tatooed on my heart.
                                                 Don't Stop Being Who You Are
                                                Because of the
                            Words, Actions & Attitudes of Others.


                                                                         Luke 23:34
        Jesus said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
          
They stripped Jesus and put a scarlet robe on Him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head.  They put a staff in His right hand and knelt in front of Him and mocked Him.  They spit on Him and struck Him on the head with the staff again and again and again.  Then He was led away to be crucified.  The words, actions and attitudes of others never kept Jesus from being the Son of the Living God who came to take away the sins of the world.  He continued to love them and forgive them.

                                                                     Ecclesiastes 10:4
                        If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post;
                                              calmness can lay great errors to rest.

                                                                         Morning Prayer
Dear Lord,
       When we face persecutions, may we never stop being who we are because of the words, actions or attitudes of others.  May we also be willing to continue in our love walk with You and with others.  Amen
