Anything Goes - Weeks #742-743

It's time again for another fun new challenge here at Word Art Wednesday, and we're super excited to have you join us. We have another free digital stamp (word art) for you to use if you wish, a brief little devotional based on that scripture to encourage you to this, some great inspiration, another fabulous sponsor and lots of fun here for you to enjoy. We appreciate everyone who plays along in our challenges, and we really love seeing your amazing and creative art.

Our scripture of focus is Jeremiah 17:14 which says, "Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise". This is a verse very near and dear to my heart. Whenever I'm having any type of pain, physical or emotional, I will cry out to God with this verse. God always hears me and answers my cries....because He is truly my source of healing, salvation and praise. When this verse was written, Jeremiah was likely suffering some type of physical pain in addition to the heavy burden he was carrying for the people he loved. Just as Jeremiah called out to God with these words, we can do the same. God not only hears us, but He longs to be close to us and to be our source of help. Try to remember this verse next time you need God's help. God will heal you (give you the strength you need to get through the valleys), He will save you from your sins, and He also deserved our praise. This verse wraps up all three of those things very simply and is a wonderful verse for healing and strength. God truly cares about YOU, and He's waiting to hear from you today.

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 or to win in our challenges. We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly. 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 for each two-week challenge. Any entries over that limit will be deleted and will make you ineligible to win.

Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines. Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone. We're not.

Weeks #720-721 - Anything Goes

Welcome back, creative friends! We hope that you're ready for another FUN new challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. Our challenges wouldn't be the same without each of you, and we're SO grateful to have you stop by to fellowship with us and share your creativity with us. It's so much fun seeing all your amazing cards and projects each week. You are SO appreciated. I appreciate you, the Design Team appreciates you, and God LOVES and appreciates you. You are important to Him, and you're important to us. Thanks for joining us, and thanks for being such a blessing to all of us here at Word Art Wednesday. Your art inspires us so much.

You can see that we have another beautiful word art scripture available for FREE download. The verse in focus for this challenge is 1 Timothy 6:6 which says, "But godliness with contentment is great gain". This verse gently reminds us that while living a godly life is a blessing, that living that godly life with contentment (being fully satisfied and grateful for what we currently have/our circumstances) is great gain (a huge blessing). There are many people who attend church. Some people actually go to church every day. Some folks have memorized most (or perhaps even all) of the Bible, some do great works of charity, and some people study God's Word night and day. These are all wonderful (godly) attributes. However, this Bible verse is telling us that, along with all the ways we can live a godly life, being truly content, satisfied and fulfilled with our lives (our circumstances, our ailments, our struggles, the good and bad, etc. by trusting God fully) is one of the greatest joys and greatest gains we can achieve. Life WILL get difficult. But when we learn to fully trust God through it all and remain content, we gain something that the world can't offer. We can gain true happiness, contentment and a level of peace and joy that are SO immense. ONLY GOD can offer that.
