Psalm 34:2-9

 

      2 I will praise Yahweh from my heart; 

         let the humble hear and rejoice. 

      3 Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh, 

         let us acclaim his name together. 

      4 I seek Yahweh and he answers me, frees me from all my fears. 

      5 Fix your gaze on Yahweh and your face will grow bright, you will never hang your head in shame. 

      6 A pauper calls out and Yahweh hears, 

         saves him from all his troubles. 

      7 The angel of Yahweh encamps 

         around those who fear him, and rescues them. 

      8 Taste and see that Yahweh is good. 

         How blessed are those who take refuge in him. 

      9 Fear Yahweh, you his holy ones; 

         those who fear him lack for nothing.

It is not a matter of right or wrong but of faith and belief that drives the devotion we feel for our God. Sinners though we are we also know we are loved and forgiven. It drives us to be as perfect as we can be in this life in the knowledge He is always going to answer us in our time of need. It is hard to fear a God who is loving and forgiving. It is easy to fear a God that will punish a rebellious evil minded sinner. God wants a child that will love Him back and love those around them. After all He created them and loves them every bit as much as he loves you. He created all of us.  

This is an image that my DW made a card from and posted back in April on "Ribbon Challenged". (April 14, 2021) The colors seen here are somewhat off as a result of the photograph. The stamp is from a magazine called  "Creative Stamping." Issue 93. It was fun to do but as any image like this it took a little time and patience.

I purposely tried to keep the colors subdued instead of going kaleidoscope crazy. The Copic colors are:

YG41, R32, YG91, R14, G14, Y17, Y26, Y04, BG34, E81,E29, BV01, E23

I pray the good Lord has been kind to you. My He bless you always and keep you safe. Remember to always "Love The Details." God bless.
