We all have our likes and dislikes.  Growing up I was told what I picky eater I am.  Up until about 16 years ago I used to see that as a bad thing.  Now I recognize it as a proclivity towards certain foods and mixtures of ingredients.  I used to think in order to admit that I am drawn to one thing or another I had to have some clear explanation but the truth is sometimes we just find ourselves with preferences towards particular people, ideas, events, and the like.  Who we are as a whole human being is a combination of our different proclivities.  God invites us to connect with them and see how they shape the kind of life we are living.  We are encouraged to utilize them to be the messenger of love in those ways and experiences.  There is no place where God is not present so if you have a proclivity towards tattoos maybe it is because there is love needed in that community.  We have to be careful when we find ourselves using our proclivity to elevate ourselves above others or exclude an opposite proclivity.  Because we form communities and support networks often in alignment with our proclivities, the potential for group think sometimes leads proclivity to be used in a non-loving way.  Through my daily dates I am returned to the recognition that who I am is whole and complete.  There is an understanding that God can use me through my proclivities to grow love if I choose to invite him in.  When I remember this, I do not need to exclude or make wrong those who do not have the same proclivity because the eyes of my heart see the other proclivities as equally spreading the message of love.
