I got a request to make a gift for a lady (whom I do not know) in Uganda.
I knew nothing about her, only that she is a Christian.
So I made a mixed media gift:
30x30x2.5cm on canvas
By your words I can see where I’m going;
they throw a beam of light on my dark path.
I’ve committed myself and I’ll never turn back
from living by your righteous order.
Everything’s falling apart on me, God;
put me together again with your Word.
Festoon me with your finest sayings, God;
teach me your holy rules.
My life is as close as my own hands,
but I don’t forget what you have revealed.
The wicked do their best to throw me off track,
but I don’t swerve an inch from your course.
I inherited your book on living; it’s mine forever—
what a gift! And how happy it makes me!
I concentrate on doing exactly what you say—
I always have and always will.
Psalm 119:105-112

That's beautiful! I'm sure it will really encourage the lady it is being given to. I love that bit of Scripture, and The Message is my favourite Bible translation.
Thank you for your comment♥ I read a couple of translations lol but The Message just reads so easy♫ Have a fun day
