BVC08: New Creation

April 8th, 2008

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new cration; the old has gone, the new has come!  ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Perhaps my very most favorite verse in the whole Bible! Perfect for babies, spring, healing in broken relationships, Easter, baptism, salvation, forgiveness and grace. In the power of Christ, ALL things are made new, not some, not a lot but ALL.

This is my April submission for Divine Design, and the months seem to be flying by. Thank you for your participation, the stories you share with me, the prayer requests, the blessings. This challenge is doing what I had prayed that it would. It is bringing a group of women who love Jesus together, and through a shared hobby, putting power to shared joys, hopes and needs in the Lord. YOU are a testament and to His infinite goodness and glory!

I’d love to see your creations this month, so after reviewing the other inspirations from Taylor, Nancy, Jami and Angel, get busy and link here so I can view your beautiful works. If you upload to Splitcoast, which I encourage you to do! <wink>, use the keyword: BVC08. The SCS Master Thread for Divine Design is here. Many, many blessings!

    Hi Lori - I love your wonderful Bible Verse cards - I came across your challenge in January and keep telling myself I’m going to join this wonderful group - I do know how prayer improves your life 100% - but thinking about doing it is all that has happened so far!

    my personal challenge is to get a card linked here by this time next week - and hopefully to even catch up by doing 4 of them!

    thanks for your wonderful inspiration here.
