Embodying the Light

Line of inquiry: truth imbibed awaits assimilation we feel it in our bones in time dissolved meditation Man's Advocate, Christ, returned to heaven's gates yet, earth's need for Light remained paramount. God had planned remedy which illuminates man's body and soul from within like a fount. Thus dwells seeds of truth in all those who embrace God's Spirit, causing man's spirit to be stirred. Light makes Himself known and His raw truth we taste, digested daily from the truth in God's Word. With prayer, conscience matures and converys nourishment for a new diet of service. Reproof brings discipline when our spirit strays feasting with him who vainly tries to swerve us. Wisdom absorbed into its mind, soul and frame, our being can bring glory to our Maker; with thoughts, words, deeds that proclaim His holy name - three-fold - Creator, Savior and Caretaker. For its worth in forgiveness and redemption, our faith is sustained to the endpoint of sight when we join our Christ at the doors of heaven hearing, "Well done, you've broadcasted My Light."

thanks, Regina. I could wish you were the judge. I have trouble deciding what unseeking wants in a piece. The Line of Inquiry is not a familiar term in my schooling. Appreciate your input.

Wow! What a powerful and poignant poem that reads like a very important Sunday school lesson! Well done! I especially like “Thus dwells seeds of truth in all those who embrace God's Spirit, causing man's spirit to be stirred. Light makes Himself known and His raw truth we taste, digested daily from the truth in God's Word.”

Thank you Sotto, God has blessed me so much but especially in the trying months before my husband passed last year. God’s loving kindness has carried me with peace and thanksgiving that Henry did not have to be moved to a nursing care facility.
