Here we are nearing the end of November with Christmas just around the corner. This year seems to have flown by us quickly. We're so grateful for each of you and all the amazing cards you've shared with us again this year. We enjoy seeing your art and we appreciate you more than you'll ever know. I thank God for each and every one of you, and I pray for you. I ask God to bless you, to guide you, to draw close to you and to be your Lord and Savior. That's the real focus here at Word Art Wednesday - sharing Jesus and growing our relationships with Him as we share the cards/art He allows us to create.
The lovely word art scripture for this challenge is 1 Corinthians 15:57 and it says, "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". This verse is reminding us that we need to always remember to be thankful to God. Life can be difficult sometimes and the world/the enemy will attempt to throw hurdles in front of us causing us to stumble. Here we're reminded that God has given us the victory over this world through His perfect gift - Jesus Christ. Being a Christian doesn't mean that we'll avoid all of life's difficulties; but it does give us the ultimate victory, the hope and the promise of eternal security and a forever place with Him in Heaven. As Thanksgiving approaches, we're all reminded that we need to be thankful. However, let's each try our very best to THANK God every day for all that He's done for us. Life will definitely have its ups and downs; but PRAISE GOD and THANK GOD for the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 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 an encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "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 our guidelines. Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone. We're not. We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules. Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.
