LOC Encouraging Postcards

With Friday comes Faith Art Friday at Layers of Color.  It is always a privilege to be hosting this post.

'Encouragement causes power and effect'

I cannot help but find inspiration from the Encouragement art stamp set being released, the sentiments bring such truth and are so inspiring - they speak truth and life to us and uplift the spirit.  This is something so powerful and motivates me to create Faith Art that is inspired not only by the visual but by spoken, or in this case written, words.

From the wisdom of Solomon

'A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.'

Proverbs 25:11

'Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.'

Proverbs 18:21

and Paul to the Church of Ephesus

'But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ' Ephesians 4:15

Throughout the Bible we are encouraged bring timely words, words that bring life and truth, to encourage and grow us in the things of God!

'But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit'

Jude 1:20

May we echo the prayer of the Psalmist in this beautiful verse

'Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.'
Psalms 19:14
