These pages were done with  the same paints as week 1 and 2. The hearts were punched out with a small heart punch and then glued to the page. The jumping silhouette is from one of my favourite photos. It is a photo of me jumping on the beach, (see it on my Instagram). I edited it in Photoshop, printed it, cut it out and then glued it in my Bible. I also added some fine gold glitter to the pages.

I loved doing this Love God Greatly* study. This was the first time I actually read this whole psalm. 

This whole psalm is about God's word. It is amazing. 

We should meditate on God's word every day, all day and obey Him. it is only when we love and keep His commandments that we can be truly happy. He gives us strength. He gives life. He gives us hope.

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Psalm 119:18

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways. Psalm 119:37

Verse 37 reminded me to keep my eyes focused on Jesus and not look at worthless things. Not only should my eyes be turned away from worthless things, but my ears, hands, tongue and thoughts should alway glorify God. I am a new creation (2 Cor 5:17) old things has passed away.  I consider myself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. (Rom 6:11)
