Detaching myself from past experiences' dilemma determined heart of mine denounces deceit-dominance dauntless to soar despite distractions… Devastated by dear Mom’s demise distressed due to Dad’s despair over his darling’s death despondent soul faced courage draining… Demoralized with Brod’s departure from vowed kingdom duties decreasing steadfastness questioned difficult virtue-demands debilitating commitment’s diligence, struggling to defy doubts… Despicable guilt-angst drowned my devotion dampening service zeal with deafening “don’ts” drying the will’s sap with demeaning failure doom… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Delivered triumphantly from days of despair discreet spirit does cleave to God for His direction daily yielding to Him midst complete dependence… Dealt well by the Saviour’s grace to face such decade dedicated indomitable spirit, propped with decisiveness deterred not to deny my LORD Who secures me around His defense… Driven now to ascend midst lurking detours divinely-braced faith derails disorientation drawn* to GOD for reaching-out ministerial delight. *James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
