The story behind Scripture in Picture -
"A devotional writer is a student of scripture, not a novice." ~ Lin JohnsonAs a Christian writer, I want to be able to quote scripture off the top of my head. Reading the Bible daily is spiritually uplifting, but I find that as the day progresses, I forget what I read. When I create a 'Scripture in Picture' I commit the words of God to memory. As a visual learner, I can remember the scripture by seeing the picture in my head.
The time I devote to creating the images and adding scripture keeps me in His presence and fosters a deeper relationship. If I can connect more deeply with God, then perhaps I can communicate that connection through my writing and touch the hearts of readers.
Good idea. I put words onto photos a lot, but never thought of it as a way to memorize Scripture. Thanks.

That is a beautiful way to internalize the scripture! Makes a lovely photo as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great exercise for you, Brianna. I can see where creating the picture with the Scripture would drive those words home. Very nice!
