Free Verse Art Coloring Page: 1 John 4:20b

colored verse art: If you don't love your sibling, whom you have seen, how can you love God, whom you have not seen? 1 John 4:20b

Colored with colored pencils, in shades of red, because of course.

Back when I did introduced The Chart with the series about 1 John 4:20, Erin surprised me with verse art.

Now we are sharing it with everyone, because we can. You, too, can color in your very own version of Erin’s very own verse art using my very own translation of this verse!

I love words.  I never (previously) knew I needed to be free of them to pray.
