Card made by Linda Lucas
Linda Lucas…
As I was making this card and battling with the simplicity of a CAS card, I couldn’t help but think about how we can battle with the simplicity of the Love of God. We tend to over think and get lost in trying to explain and reason with the theology, to look for deeper meaning while all the time the gospel message is so simple and so clear.
I love the symbolism of the Fleur Heart on this card, it speaks to me of the depth of God’s love and beauty within, I added the cross to symbolise the message of the salvation that conveys the heart of God so very well! I have heard many a sermon on the Love of God but nothing explained it to clearly as my dear friend Lyn, who befriended me at school and loved her God enough to dare to live her faith and share with me, she told me that inspite of everything I do, that God still loves me with an unconditional love – I said in my heart ‘if there’s love like that in this world, then I want it!! I am so grateful for my friend Lyn, who 35 years ago showed me the Love of God by living it!! I accepted His love that day and have lived in the knowledge and security of it ever since!

Thank you for visiting today! We hope you’ve been blessed!
Oh my…. BOTH these samples are amazing!!! What a beautiful testimony to God’s unconditional love and grace and mercy!!! Beautifully done ladies!!! Thanks for blessing my Friday morning before I start my journey back home!
Gorgeous card Linda! And thank you for sharing your salvation story here with all of us. What a blessing to have those who live their lives dedicated to loving Christ and sharing that love to everyone around them. I didn’t realize til just now that we both used the same cross for our cards today! *Ü* One of my favorite hymns is “The Old Rugged Cross” and will be forever I’m sure.
What a beautiful Easter card and lots of cutting details. I really like how your eye is drawn to the cross underneath the Nesties Label. Reminds me of looking through a church window.
