Today we had an awesome sermon about how God understands us, he loves us and he feels every tear we cry. Jesus came to earth and felt the pain and sorrows of a human, but God the father is one with his son, so God also understands our sorrows. But His love encircles us.
Before I left for church today, I read a devotion by my favorite devotion author, Angie Smith from Mended: Pieces of a Life Made Whole. She was talking about the sparrows, and the verse how God cares for the sparrow, so how much more does he care for us? She was reading about sparrows, and learned:
"This particular bird cannot learn to sing in the daylight because it is always concerned with the chatter around it. Instead, it's cage must be covered so that it is in complete darkness. The , it is able to hear its master and will learn to sing.... And in that place of feeling left alone, unwanted, disregarded, abandoned, He whispered to my weary soul. Sing, love." (Devotion: He Loves You)
So, now, this is my tattoo design. Symbols of God's love wrapped around me, and joining together all the parts of God the Father, God the Son, God the spirit. Symbols of singing in the darkest times (3 birds, 3 surgeries). Symbols of the hope I found through patient endurance.
So, my tattoo design.
So cool! Sarah, you are always so good at finding the light in the dark! I hope you love your new body art! XOXO
