Weekend Feature: Leap of Faith

Good Morning!

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13 which says:

¹If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³If I give all I possess to the poor

and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I heard a sermon one time where the pastor of the church said to replace the word LOVE with GOD. GOD IS LOVE! It's that simple! So thus the reason I kept this new lanyard simple with the focal point being the charm that says "Jesus". This one just popped into my head last weekend and rolled off of my fingers shortly after. I like it but I am kind of biased to my own work you know :o) Take a gander at it in the Etsy store and the Handmade Artists Shop and let me know what you think!

God's Blessings!
