The JOY source + FREE printable Scripture cards

My mother-in-law asked me to create this joy Scripture card set for a church event recently. We love how they turned out, so we’re sharing them with you today!

I love these verses because they remind me of our joy source:

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.” Psalm 51:12

“Let all who take refuge in you be glad, Let them ever sing for joy.” Psalm 5:11

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; in your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Psalm 16:11

“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3

Did you catch that? Joy is found in God’s presence and His salvation. What reliable sources! 

Enjoy these cards! They’re great for posting on the refrigerator, slipping in a card to a friend, taping on a mirror, or putting in a frame. To cut in fours, make cuts at the 4.25 and 5.5 inch marks. 

You can download the file HERE!  All my printables are free for your personal use. Please don’t re-post the actual file without my permission (but please feel free to link to this post)!

I also have other card sets just like this available in my shop! You can check out more free printables here. What Scripture sets or printables would be helpful for you to have?

    Hmmm. Maybe a mission of motherhood set? A weariness set? A praise set?

    Love your cards! They are so pretty! You have some major talent here! Have you ever considered making some (business card size) that could be handed out to people – as a tool to witness or maybe just to tell that person that God loves them.

    Hi Tasha! Nice to "meet" you! I think that's a really cool idea! I'll process what that could look like! Thanks for the suggesting the idea. Mary ❤️‍

    Hi Mary Dean
    Your scripture cards are wonderful. Are the verses from the King James version?
    John 3:16 is always a great verse to have. Phillipians 4:13, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 23,Galations 5:2…and of course Corithians 13 The Love chapter. Those are some really great ones. Have you used them?

    Hi Shelley! I use a combination of three Bible versions in the public domain: King James Version, World English Bible, and American Standard Version, for copyright purposes if I make the cards for my Etsy shop. I actually have illustrated Philippians 4:13 and some of 1 Corinthians 13–they're part of Scripture sets in my shop. This one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/246421088/printable-digital-download-grace-filled?ref=related-1 and this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/226490978/printable-digital-download-busy-lady?ref=shop_home_active_13

    I love these! I made a printable about joy after studying the Hebrew roots of each time the word joy was mentioned in the Bible. It's amazing how often they related to an action word of shouting, dancing, singing etc.

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

SEARCH THE BLOG

If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Ma If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Magdalene, you’ll often find her depicted as a penitent woman or as sexualized, with her clothes literally falling off her body. It was Pope Gregory the Great who proposed that Mary Magdalene’s seven demons represented the seven deadly sins and that she was both a prostitute and the penitent sinner who anoints Jesus in Luke 7:36-50 (Jennifer Powell McNutt).

Later church historians assumed that Mary Magdalene’s great sins were to blame for her demon possession (McNutt). While the Western Church came to see Mary Magdalene as a prostitute and a great sinner, the Eastern Orthodox church honored her as the leader of the “myrrh-bearing women” (Taylor and Bond).

Read some research into the REAL Mary Magdalene story here:

🌸 Part 1 of the Mary Magdalene study is up on Substack. Have you ever heard that she was a prostitute? Where did that come from? Is it Biblical? I was fascinated by how her story has been told through history, the origins of her name, what it means that she had been possessed by seven demons, and her place among Jesus’ disciples.

When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women B When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women Bible studies last year, I started collecting books on New Testament women. I really didn’t know where to start at first. I wasn’t familiar with the scholarship about women in the Bible, and I hadn’t even heard of any female theologians doing this work!

So you don’t have to start from scratch if you’re like I was, I’m going to share a list of books I’ve learned from in the last year. Some are more academic than others, but all have been helpful.
