Bouncing Toward Triumph

Bouncing up with gratitude my heart leaps midst jubilant beat rising to praise God* for His blessings overtaking me this New Year. Propelled by the Holy Ghost my faith strides steadfastly ascending along trust’s push to triumph midst obstacles. Advancing the Saviour’s kingdom my spirit promotes righteousness surmounting hatred with His forgiveness gripped by love’s transforming drive. Plunging in prayer to overcome gripping selfishness my soul serves the Lord with His might reaching-out to others in compassion lifting the needy, propped by care’s zest. Vanquishing skeptic doubts my mind hurls negative thoughts to prevail through Scriptures’ assurance and zoom toward worship bliss. Empowered by Christ Who leads my life accelerates in His control since He upholds me by His grace hoisting me from sin-downfall.
*Psalm 86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. January 3, 2020 Honorable Mention, "Jump" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Sheri Fresonke Harper; judged on 1/24/2020.
