Bible Journaling
Bible what? You can’t write in that!
I connect with God whilst I am sat,
Being still, making a creative journal page,
Love and blessings, as I faithfully engage,
Each time I open my Bible to write,
Journaling on my faith, it shines God’s light,
Over a Bible verse that never before, I’ve read,
Understanding its meaning, I’m creatively led,
Receiving God’s word,
Nearer to God, His voice I heard,
Anytime, alone, lost in thought; be still,
Linking with God, a Bible journaling page will,
Inspire, encourage, expanding my faith, share,
New Bible verses, I am knowing God’s care,
Growing each time, my faith becomes strong,
In the family of God I truly belong.
Bible journal, kit, or pretty notebook,
I design a cover, I design a ‘look’,
Being quiet, making a page of prayer,
Listen for God’s presence, be aware,
Every new journal, I open to write,
Journaling brings me joy; it brings me delight,
Over a favourite Bible verse, that many times I’ve read,
Uploading its special meaning, into my head,
Reaching out in an imaginative way,
New devotion to a faithful God today,
A time of thoughtfulness; using decorative skill,
Learning about God, a Bible journal will,
Illuminate, inform, showing creative flair,
New Bible messages, showing me God’s care,
Gaining each time, my belief it grows,
I am a child of God and it shows.
Bible cards can be used for many reasons,
I like to mark verses in Isaiah, Psalms and Ephesians,
Bible passages and hymn words, with my imagery to display,
Lose myself in artistic endeavour, pause; contemplate, as I pray,
Each journaling idea, what to make, I decide,
Jesus, God and Holy Spirit, will guide,
Opens my heart,
Unique, inspirational art,
Reading the Bible, poetry and making notes,
New illustrations, and meaningful quotes,
A time of peace, a time of reflection,
Leisurely hobby; faith, with a Godly connection,
Inking, die-cutting, painting, embossing, I’m making patterns and shapes,
Numerous ways of expressing feelings; using stickers and washi tapes,
God’s love, mercy and grace, I know what it means,
Reminding me He cares, historically setting scenes.
