Scripture Series: Kindness Shall Not Depart Card---Time for another Bi-weekly/Inspirational/Anything Goes Challenge from Word Art Wednesday!

Hello friends!  I am a day late with this post but will make this brief as I am spending my Birthday with my family for some fun and much needed break.  Anyway, I wanted to bring to you the card I made for our Anything Goes/Inspirational Bi-Weekly Challenge at Word Art Wednesday (WAW) featuring the Scripture Word Art that you can download for free at the WAW site.  It comes from Isaiah 54:10 which says, "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."  What a wonderful promise of Almighty God to give us hope especially in the condition/days we're living in.  

Now, more than ever, the pages of Revelation which was the very first book I completed reading when I first came to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through His finished work at the Cross (Born-again, John 3:3) has never been more alive to me than these days.  Back then, I felt like I was reading a horrific fantasy story that will soon come to pass.  There were many times I had to ask elders questions to fully understand what the prophecies meant to me, all believers and the world as whole.  There were passages that terrified me and sent chills to the core of my being but knowing who I am in Christ turned many of the fears to hope and thankfulness for the future that awaits me and everyone whose faith rest upon our Savior.  

Today, we turn on the TV or the web and the dominating news are always about chaos, division, destruction and disrespect not only to God but people who are traitors,  rebellious and ungrateful for many reasons.  I will surely not be surprised if it comes from countries deeply oppressed by their governments and whose freedom and existence is determined by godless rulers that believed they are their own gods.  But for a bunch of spoiled brats that earns millions upon millions of dollars, doing what they loved to do and paid luxuriously along with the companies that spoil them and gave them platforms to exercise their right to protest a bogus oppression that they really haven't experienced and have allowed themselves to be the puppets for the puppeteers of this nation whose aim is to destroy the mandate of God in this country by promoting chaos, division, sexual perversion, annihilation of the unborn and worldwide control through the promulgation of a one world government, I am not going to stay quiet and just buy on their deception.  I have not a bit of tolerance for people who chooses to use their fame to disrespect the very country that allowed them to reach their dreams.  They have the means to make a difference with the resources they have.  Instead, they have chosen to disrespect the flag (sitting and kneeling) and everything this country stands for as drafted in our Constitution to make a stand?  How about they use their fat check books to improve the lives of the ones they stand for?  Of course not, it's easy to protest when it does not truly cost you anything and you are backed by godless, equally ingrate bosses (companies).  This sort of things (behavior and events) are written in the Scripture and we are to be familiar with the Word of God in order to connect the dots on what is happening in our country and the world.  Jesus is coming very soon and we are to hold on to His promises and pray for our nation amidst the concern/uncertainties.  Every believer in Christ have a bright future awaiting us in God's Kingdom and we are to continue to be "Salt and Light" to this world.  Simply put, we need to speak up and expose the error in our times no matter what and who we face.  Jesus helped people and fulfilled His purpose without compromising the Truth.  We (believers) are not here to please man but to please God alone.  Let us do what the Holy Spirit tells us with boldness knowing that we are heirs to the throne of God.  The promises of God (His kindness and peace) are true to us here on earth and will be fully manifested at the end of days when we shall reign with Him.  He's coming, be ready?

For this Card, I used an image from Time for Tea called "Princess" and colored it with my Touch Five and Prismacolor markers.  The base is white CS, cut and scored to make a 5.5 inches square.  The DP is from Heidi Grace, the butterflies from Recollection, the nail head gems from Imaginisce and I added some Liquid Pearls (Silver) to the image's dress.  The wonderful paper saved me some time in having to layer some more.  The design and texture are worth showing and surely gave this card an edge.   Lastly, I did some wacky stitching to complete my design.
