Treasured Friend

How I truly treasure my friends but don't let them know as often as I should. This card was created for a wonderful friend of mine who has helped me to enjoy my creativity. She has taught me the art of flower arranging at her shop and how to see bouquets of colour, not just in flowers, but in life. She's a wonderful friend to me and to my family.
She, like I love wildflowers so I thought she'd love this image. It, and the sentiment are from The Paper Garden. I used some lovely paper from ATD and cardstock from Stampin' Up. I distressed the edges a bit, and added some button, just because I love buttons!
I am entering this card in theSweet Stampin; Challenge - Anything Goes. I had forgotton about this wonderful challenge blog and just found it in my bookmarks. There's still a bit of time if you'd like to play along.

Salvation FULL & FREE!

"But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Romans 5:8-10

So what does this mean?

God proved his love for us, sinners, through the death of his sinless Son. This death was not accidental. It was sacrificial and necessary for the reconciliation of sinners. The penalty for sin is death. However, there is hope in Christ! His death on the cross paid the price for your sins and mine and brings forgiveness from and peace with God. Christ's resurrection and present ministry in heaven keep us saved. Once you have accepted this precious gift, you can never lose it! AMEN!

Have YOU repented, believed, and been reconciled? I pray that you have!
