Life Tattoo.

I was talking to Kayla the other day and we got on the topic of tattoos and which Bible verses would make good tattoos. I came to the concussion that the one I would like to use wouldn't make a good tattoo because it talks about being youthful and that would be ironic when I am 100 years old.

Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. -- 1 Timothy 4:12 (NASB)

I concluded that I don't want this as a body tattoo, I want this as a life tattoo. Not something I wear, but something that I live by. Becoming one with the verse. Living every point up to it's fullness whether it is in how I talk, how I present myself, how I truly love everyone as Christ did, whether it is putting all my reliance on Christ, being pure in relationships, or the command given to us to be able to represent other Christians.

The more that I think about this, the more I feel like I am not living life the way I should. How many of us are living everyday like this?
