Hello, my friends! Our world is filled with broken promises!
Promises freely given, and then just as easily,
promises broken or taken away as meaningless.
God's promises are TRUE!
They are a firm foundation to stand on!
When God gives us a promise He will never break it!
His Word - the Bible - is full of His promises.
I have just a couple to share with you. In Hebrews 13:5 it says:
Promises freely given, and then just as easily,
promises broken or taken away as meaningless.
God's promises are TRUE!
They are a firm foundation to stand on!
When God gives us a promise He will never break it!
His Word - the Bible - is full of His promises.
I have just a couple to share with you. In Hebrews 13:5 it says:
...because God has said, "never will I leave you,
never will I forsake you."
Isn't that a wonderful promise? That's one we can always count on, no matter what life situation we are facing! What a comforting thought!
For my page, I was inspired by another one of God's wonderful promises. God sent the rainbow as a sign of the promise He made to Noah that He would never again destroy the entire world with floods. So I used rainbow striped paper. Then I embossed the sun rays, and added the bird and flowers to make it a happy and fun page.
After using the Rays Texture Fade, I inked it and then sprayed it with Perfect Pearls. Here's a picture that shows the glimmer,
and the Scripture verse:
"The Lord is faithful to all His promises
and loving toward all He has made."
Now there's a promise that should fill us with JOY! :o)

I printed the music sheet very small, so here are the words for you to read:
Standing On the Promises
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit's call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
