DAYSTAR

Delighting in the Lord God Who illumines by His truth daily Assured heart of mine indeed thanks His gracious approval Yearning for His sweet presence while to the Holy Spirit yielding Seeking His favorable approval as He wisely directs my steps Triumphantly toward His victorious purpose, always trustworthy Affirming His forgiveness that sanctifies against vain arrogance Reviving me, since He's the day star*, light bringer of my redemption. *2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

Beautiful warm thoughts. Thank you for your testimony and praise for our Lord. I think it is neat that you ended each line in your acrostic with a word starting with the same letter as the first word. Double Duty Daystar Acrostic. Congratulations on a super piece and your top placement.

I love the fact that you started each line with a descriptive word. With the exception of the T line, your words are also a call to action. I also like the fact that this, like most of your poems comes with a Bible verse for thought and that they are decidedly Christian in nature. Congrats on your win in my contest.
