Intense Love!


This is what I drew for my journal this morning.
A verse from 1 Peter 4:
"Let your love for one another be INTENSE,
because LOVE covers a multitude of sins."

I like this verse because we make many mistakes,
disappoint even ourselves sometimes,
but love can make up for those mistakes!

In 1 Corinthians 13, it says that
LOVE is greater than faith and hope.
I guess this is because even if we have 
the kind of faith that moves mountains,
if we don't have love for others,
what would be the use of that?
We would just be using it for ourselves!

Here are some of the projects I've started.
Here is a face on bookpaper 
covered with wall putty.

And here is an ATC I've made
as a sample for our Crafternoon this
afternoon!

The vase is from a plastic ampule of
Flixotide, which I cut in half.


This is why my craft room 
is full of garbage!
I usually find a way to use it! 

Do you have a post on how you've 
salvaged an item from the garbage can
and used it for your art?

  6. Intense love keeps us going when life has been filled with intense strife and stress. It's always good when the right intensity wins!

  7. I love the one with the child -- covering a multitude of sins. So often I harp on things that just aren't that important - they need to be covered with love and not words.

  8. Hi Patsy! I totally agree. Above anything else, love is more than enough to conquer everything. Have a great weekend!

  9. This kind of love is a privilege to have in life. My husband is such a forgiving man and my daughters also. It's because they want to be as much like our Heavenly Father as they can. It's my desire, too. It makes for a peaceful home! Once again your art has caused me to be thankful and rejoice.

  17. I love Corinthians 13! And you're absolutely right--what's faith without love? Hadn't really thought about it before...

  22. Your art is really beautiful! I'm glad to have found your blog through Random Journal Day Linkup! If I had a craft room I'd use a lot of "garbage" as art. For now, I collect tiny things with plans to use them eventually - like buttons and strings.
