“Call to schedule your appointment today,” the advertiser peddled over the morning drive-time radio.
It wasn’t for a free inspection, consultation, or even to get your carpets cleaned. The promotion was for tattoo removal. The announcer was selling a service to erase regrets…take away unwanted results…remove what’s left of a bygone decision. Call it an un-tattoo parlor.
Don’t you wish they had them for other choices we’ve made…deeds that should have been left undone?
Thankfully, our gracious Heavenly Father has provided a means for just that!
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify us
from all unrighteousness.”
(1 Jn 1:9)
“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other
so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person
is powerful and effective.”
(Jms 5:16)
Our God has perfected removal and restoration. When we humble ourselves and confess our sin, He is faithful to forgive. In His great mercy and grace He makes all things new. His love goes deeper than the “ink” of our past wrongdoing. And His faithfulness holds tighter to our lives than any tatt to skin.
Do you have that thing in your past you long desperately to be rid of?
What’s stopping you?
Turn to God today—no appointment necessary.
