Weeks #495-#496 - Anything Goes

Welcome back to Word Art Wednesday.  We are SO blessed and so grateful that you're here to join us.  We hope that you are blessed and encouraged by our challenges, and we hope you know how much we appreciate the art you share with us.  We wish you could ALL win the prize each week because you're all winners in our book.  The art you link up is nothing short of amazing, and we're SO thankful to have you play along.  Let's get started with another FUN challenge with yet another AMAZING sponsor, the wonderful Pretty Pink Posh.

Our focus scripture is Deuteronomy 5:29 which says, "O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever"!  What do you hear when you read these words?  What I hear is that God is longingly telling me (us) that if only our hearts "feared" Him (respect/acknowledge Him) for who He is, and kept His commands always, I (we and our children/generations) would have true peace.  This is what He wants for each of us.  It's a peace that passes all understanding (the unsaved world can't even comprehend our peace and joy when we're living in and for Jesus).  Because we're humans with a strong self-will, we tend to want to do things our own way.  We continue to fail, to fall, to hurt, and then to cry out to God to "fix" it again.  He's saying that if we simply keep His commandments and respect/trust Him with our lives, He will keep us (all) in His perfect peace.  Each one of us needs to trust Him more.  Let's do this.....when your heart is hurting, or you know someone whose heart is hurting; simply point them to Jesus.  He is ALWAYS enough.  He is ALL we need.  Let's turn OUR hearts back to God, and encourage the world to seek after Him as well.  Praise God!  He's always there for us all.

As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along in our challenges or to win.   We welcome you to share your all your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly, and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards).  You may link up to five (5) projects each week, for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge. The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning.  It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "Challenge Rules".  Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to the guidelines.  Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone.  We're simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules.  Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for your understanding and participation.
