SALT - Rejoice

It was my turn to set the challenge this week.

My piece has been inspired by the lovely flowers on Joanne's blog. I wanted to create something bright and cheery, to remind me to Rejoice when I don't feel like it!

REJOICE!
The Bible says to Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS.

This is a verse that I keep meditating on as its one of those that pops into your head, but is very hard for your heart to grasp sometimes.

When we go through trials, or we can see others suffering, getting to the truth of this verse is vital.

It doesn't say Rejoice for the sake of it, it says Rejoice in the LORD, the one who has saved us from the punishment we deserve, the ALMIGHTY one, who LOVES us so much.

Ingredients:
Lettering etc cut ny Craft Robo, punches by Xcut and The Punch Bunch.
