Fear

The bible begins with a creation of something out of love. The end product was man and woman. Their place of residence was Eden. As long as their hearts were on the Lord of lords there were no fears. The word of God sustained them and provided all they needed. The Brainy Quote is simple but profound. A baby is not born with fear but learns it when it comes into this world. We cannot avoid it in this life but we can overcome it. That is not to say it will no longer exist, only that it will not be the ruling factor of our actions, thus our lives. Fear is actually akin to love. (Psalms 111:10) Fear can be a pairing with love. (Psalm 23) I see fear of God not as a punishment but as a safeguard for "God is Love." (1 John 4:8-9, 1 John 4:16, DEUT 7:9) The fear we have of God is not fear of punishment as much as fear of His turning His love from us. As long as we walk the path He sets before us we need not fear. Pure fear and terror is not of God for God is love.

Today I am sharing the final inlayed die cut. It is a variation on the one shared in the last post. 

 

Again it has 262 inlays. The colors used were light gold, silver, white, dark blue and red. The red template was an experiment. Not sure I would use that color again for this kind of work. A darker color seems to work better. In my next post I will share a fun die cut. No hints. Stop by for a smile. Remember to always "Love The Details".
