@Pearl Anyway, generationally, it's what they do now. And all the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have talked have seemingly gone through with the inkings for testimony tool reasons. (In a sense, it's heartening to see the young ppl's confidence that glows, in the Scriptures.)

@Pearl What you say - consistent indeed with Ephesians chapters 1 and 2 - reminds me of these hymn verses: "All of grace, yes, grace surpassing, Such a portion to bestow, But the love, all knowledge passing, Grace has taught us now to know. Love that bore the stripes and sorrow, Love that...

Hi @Mantis Yes, and as someone with veteran skills for it, you would know of course that both for those who give ink and the much larger company of those who receive it, it is a gradual process of becoming acclimatized to it - a consistent dedication is what should characterize it if this is the...

Hi @Mantis I'm sure that Psalm 40:1-3 strikes a personal chord, so to speak, among those who truly trust the Lord: "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock...

Solemn words........ We need indeed to keep 'looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith' (Hebrews 12.2).

PS: @VictoryinJesus And like you maybe implied or acknowledged, being prepared just to take the plunge and undergoing a well chosen inking seems to be what nice young ladies so widely do nowadays. It's likely that they, as new found adults, would calculate that a bit of pain would be well...

@VictoryinJesus A searching passage there in John 11, right?

@VictoryinJesus Keep praying.......

@Pearl Your comments remind me of the words of Robert Murray M'Cheyne, with their evident background in the truth of Biblical justification: "When I stand before the throne, dressed in beauty not my own, when I see thee as thou art, love thee with unsinning heart, then, Lord, shall I fully...

@Pearl Good verse there; I saw the grave headstone of a faithful preacher with that verse inscribed on it...

@Pearl Indeed so, and Peter himself describes in 1 Peter 1.23-25 what is essential: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The...

Hi @danielinpersia Good to see you. God bless His Word to you.

Hi @PossibleThrowawayAccount It's good to do every day what you just did: read a portion of God's Word. Psalm 119.105: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

@Not me Reminds me of Hebrews 4.16: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

@By_God's_Grace FYI............thread I started......do you have a favorite Psalm?

Hi @PossibleThrowawayAccount Good to see you on the forums; God bless His Word to you.

Back a bit: @Pearl So is your daughter still the only family member that is tattooed so far? children's names inked - or even Bible refs. - is increasingly a widespread option that is pursued these days.

@Pearl Indeed; Peter in 2 Peter 3.18 says: 'Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ'. In order for such growth, there needs to be life there in the first place.

Hi @PossibleThrowawayAccount FYI: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11.6) If you read the whole of chapter 11 of Hebrews, it contains an amazing list of...

@Pearl Galatians 5:22.... Also: "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." (James 1:4)
