Poem
Struggling to take residence in the nook of my mind... ...skepticism along ignorance confronting my truth-steadfastness: faithlessness' shouts and doubts' screams while I face challenges... Oh, wretched torments of misery!!! "Help my unbelief*, God; in You do I trust." Striving to hide in the innermost vacuum of my soul... ...evil afflictions to my spiritual well-being: selfishness' grip with covetousness' shackles bondage-fetters grievously burdensome... What miserable imprisonment!!! "My Saviour, forgive my self-centeredness; let me feast in Your contentment." Lurking in the darkness of my heart... ...abominations of loathsome sinfulness: displeasing the Lord of my life being a reproach to His glory thru my idolatry... Guilty heavenly miser am I, despite being granted eternal life!!! "I beseech Your cleansing, my Lover; purge me with Your blood's sanctifying might." Abiding in my motives' closet... ...intents of divine nature's love-filled service: earnest devotion, faith-anchored to live for my Creator buttressed with compassion-care for others... How blessed am I to minister to those in misery!!! "Uphold me then, my Master; lead me toward fulfilled, faithful, fruitful stewardship pursuits." *Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. December 31, 2018 2nd place, "Misery" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh; judged on 1/5/2019.
