Cheerful

Cheerfully “showing signs of glory” as her name means clearly
Love of God brightens her compassion-radiance along Christ’s light
Empowered by the Saviour Whom she serves with earnestness
Offering her best to reach-out with the Lord’s grace to others
Fervently faithful in her stewardship fulfillment
Ever-abiding in the Almighty’s will, grateful for her granted life eternal…

Dearly beloved sister-friend, she’s blessed while godliness exemplifying
Exalting the Creator through her enthusiastic serving and edifying
Approved according to Scriptures’ affirmation amidst her afflictions…
Surely a woman* of virtue, strengthened and sanctified by the Holy Spirit
Imparting truths by her teacher-role, indeed divinely influential...
She shines for the glory of her Master Who makes her completely sufficient.

*Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Dear Cley,
God be praised and thanked for your life devoted to the Lord … by His grace, through His might, and for His honour.  A blessed birthday to you.

You gave lots of great examples of her name's meaning, and a bonus for making it an acrostic on the end as well. Congrats on your top placement in my contest!
