Beata Agustin Poet Free verse

DESPITE WRECKAGE

Created from clay
yet possessing image of God
my heart glows with redemption’s grace
persisting to champion miracles
against human nature’s wreckage...
Thus, I can move mountains.

Gripped with divine presence
my faith trusts the Holy Spirit
strengthened to conquer trials
subduing torments of guilt midst pardon bliss 
toward triumphant eternity...
Indeed, I can move mountains*.

*Matthew 17:20 “And Jesus said unto them... If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place’; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Sara Kendrick January 2, 2024 at 4:11 AM Amazing what God did and can do still. Just think God took something from man and made woman. Maybe DNA from man so that now man has something missing until he meets his life mate. Thank you for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
