Poem
Despite frustrations' angst deliberately asserting human nature flaws condemning me to languish in failure my soul seeks the Saviour for His offered help so by His grace, I can start serenely anew... Now encouraged* to live joyously as His redeemed child I claim victory with the power of His imputed righteousness. Overcoming woes of downfalls while missing excellent marks of success I trust the supreme Creator for His pardon to sanctify me from confessed iniquities and pride enabling my ascent toward transformation mount... Now having now the courage** to continue, leaving insecurities behind I testify, "God is good all the time; all the time, God is good." Restored from despair along divine healing bliss grateful that from guilt graciously freed to Christ, I cleave, fulfilling ministerial roles persevering for mission’s achievement with kindness' cheer while to the needy, willingly reaching-out... Now having the privilege to serve as an encouragement I strive to become a blessing in life-building pursuits. Prevailing midst encouragement triumph my heart indeed exalts the Lord upheld as faith in Him increases toward abounding stewardship-fruition marked by servanthood-virtues, all thru His loving kindness... Now courageously sharing the Gospel while facing crises I ready myself, with gladness, for my Jesus' second coming. *1Samuel 30:6And David was greatly distressed; ... but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. **Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. August 18, 2021 Edited on February 3, 2022 5th place, "Encourage" Free Verse Poetry Writing Premier Contest Sponsored by Regina McIntosh; judged on 2/20/2022.
