To live by faith is to live with profuse praise.
It is having the right view of ourselves before Almighty God, having the humility to see His merciful grace, and responding with praise.
The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
Psalm 145:8-9

This is a fairly simple but very meaningful entry.
I started with the tulip. First, I very roughly painted a tulip directly on the page using watercolour paint. I used the stamp, from Blooming Tulips, as a guide but painted very imperfectly because that’s the effect I was going for. After it dried, I stamped over it, but offset a little bit, in black ink.
Then, I used the Damask Pattern stencil to add some colour and detail to the edges of the page. I applied green ink through the stencil using a blending brush.
Next, I stamped the verse from Psalm 145 from The Goodness of God above the tulip. And, I hand-lettered the words above that using a black marker. Lastly, I added some notes using coloured pens.

Who is like the Lord Almighty?
There is no one
Who compares in love and mercy?
It’s just You
Countless are Your works and wonders
They keep going on and on, unending
So holy, I exalt You
So worthy, I will praise You
So matchless, I will bow down
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
Luke 1:46-50
