Statements

When rich people want to make a statement about themselves, they build 18,000 square foot homes with water falls, and gardens. They buy expensive cars. What do poor people do, or young people who don't have a lot of resources? What do they do? Well, they have their bodies. They tattoo them and pierce them. They try and enhance their status, or make some statement about where they belong in some social circle.

Sadly, for some, they think it makes them more, whereas their body from God makes them less. God's creation simply isn't cool. Change something about the skin and become more comfortable in that skin. Anything less is too ordinary. But we are never really ordinary. God is delighted with us as we are without all the additions. We are enough for God. Why are we not enough for ourselves? Maybe we need a second opinion. But don't ask your tattooed friend.
