Hello everyone… I am so excited to see that my Tulips are coming early this year π They are one of my favorite Spring flowers. I cannot wait to see and enjoy their giant blooms!
And inspired by giant tulip dream… I created my CAS card today using Our Daily Bread Designs March New Release Products: Tulips Stamp Set, Tulip Die and Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies. And for the sentiment, I use one of the Pierced Rectangles Dies as the mat.
I stamped the tulips with Archival Black ink pad and colored them with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and Prismacolor Colorless Blender Pencil. They blend smoothly and love the vibrant colors.
I love the sentiments that comes in this Tulips stamp set. One of my favorite is this one with the Bible verse from Psalms
1 Lord, you were favorable to your land;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people;
you covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all your wrath;
you turned from your hot anger.
4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
The whole passage is beautiful, isn’t it? The LORD revived his people and bless their land when they came to repent from their sins. God’s forgiveness and renewal life is for them it was like the new season, new Spring in their lives.Β The new fresh life that the LORD gave to them led them to worship and rejoice in Him for what he had done in their lives.
His one faithful God… back then to the people of Israel, now in our lives and forever!!! He is the good Father. The Righteous Judge.
I believe when come to Him with humble hearts, asking for forgiveness, and ask him to revive our lives, He will forgive and revive us… only because He is a faithful God. He will change our lives and give us the new refresh life through Jesus Christ!
I hope this truth will bless you all today and encourage your hearts in any circumstance you are in now. HUGS!
Thank you for visiting me and a blessed day!
