LOC FAF Victorious Love

While looking through an old Hymnal, I was inspired by the title of this hymn - Victory, Great Victory.  While I have never actually heard the Hymn I certainly love the title and as a Christian, it is a topic that is close to our hearts.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:35-37

This scripture is specific telling us that we have been made MORE THAN CONQUERORS - in all of the trials listed, not just in one or two situations but in any and every situation we face.

The cause of our victory is specific - through the blood of Jesus Christ.  Christ's death on the cross brings us victory, it is not due to anything on our part but the shedding of the blood of Jesus.  There is more power in one drop of His blood than any weapon that the 'world' has created.  All the riches in the world not be enough to purchase one drop of the blood that was shed for our salvation. 

Today, when we are acutely aware of the power sources available to mankind and the blatant displays of them, we can find peace in the knowledge that

indeed...

in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:37



For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometheven our faith
1John 5:4
AMEN!!

LOC Bee-utifully Blueberry

I am having so much fun teaching at Layers of Color Workshops - tomorrow I am having a rerun of the Slice of Heaven Workshop as the demand has been amazing!!  I decided it was time I finished a Slice I started in....shhhh....January....LOL!

The sides are 'iced' with the Botanical Swirls art stencil, topped off with some cream Seam Binding and some divine buttons my DH came home with the other day - you have to love that!!

Inked embossing with the SU Vintage Wallpaper makes rich and irresistible icing

What flowers are complete without a gorgeous Bee buzzing around - these ones are from the Layers of Color Honeysweet art stamp set - I am loving this set more and more....

Vintage Braid and a pearl close the back beautifully - the braid adds such an opulence, making this Cake Slice so-o-o tempting to nibble at!

Finishing off with a butterfly from the Butterfly Collector art stamp set - layered, with 3D Kindy Glitz added as a final touch.

I have added this slice to the other two and am inspired to create more - my goal is to have a whole cake - a smorgasbord of colour and details, texture, shimmer and rich beauty - all this with paper and embellishments - no wonder it is so addictive!  I am sure the ladies at tomorrow's Workshop will love them as much as I do!!
