The tatoo of the heart

The past days has been full of challenges and oportunities for my life in every area of it. Every single day is a new adventure that touches me in some special way . I met Rosario Duarte in Comahen few days ago when we were servign there with a team from MN.
She came with the hope of finally hearing God's reply to one of the two petitions she had since many years ago. She loved to read the Word and one day her glasses broke, at her age it was very hard for her to read without glasses so, instead of asking God for money to get the glasses she ask Him the desire that move me to write this update.
She asked him : LORD, don´t let me forget of Your word that i memorized in my heart during this years, so in this way be I will be able to know what are u talking to my life.
Many of us never think about this kind of stuff. It's so easy to read the bible and attend a church when we have all of the resources and the money we need to catch a bus or a cab and do it.
How many words do we have in our heart? The bible says that the people from Israel used to write the Word on their doors, clothing and wrist so they will always remeber it. How many times do we really think about what is GOd asking us to do before we act by impulse or before we decide to do something we know can mark our life?
To ask God not to let us forget the words we keep in our heart means more that just memorize verses , it's like a tatoo in our heart that can´t never be erase, but it take more than just to read the bible.
We must decide to deny ourselves so Christ might reing in us and tatoo our heart with His blood.
We need to understand that being a christian goes way beyond attending church 24/7 or be an active member.
The tatoo of the heart envolves more than pure activism it's an act of real commitment to do what God is calling us to do.
