Bible Journaling: Deuteronomy 6:5

It’s not one of my go-to books, but this verse from Deuteronomy was one of the readings I delivered last Sunday in church. We are perhaps more familiar with the New Testament context of Jesus’ parable about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:27) and then His response to the question ‘which commandment is the greatest in the Law?’ (Matt 22:37).

Deuteronomy 6:5 I started with the text using a metallic gold Posca pen, and originally just drew the heart as an outline without the word. That just didn’t look right, and I filled it in and added the word after. All the text looked better with the fineliner outline, but there was still something missing. Adding the rays and colouring with pencils seemed to sort it out, and I was happy with the outcome.
