Embrace and Release

Embrace and release the Lord’s grace Offering forgiveness delight Marked by love of caring gaze Toward sharing midst kindness plight. For heart to bask in peace nurture Embrace and release the Lord’s grace Reaching out through bliss-filled venture Glowing bright, smiting gloomy days. Despite pain, besetting life’s race Persist patiently, propped by hope Embrace and release the Lord’s grace Strength He grants for soul to cope. Oh prayer warrior, thanks indeed Your cheerful prompt guides from doubts' chase Inspiring with working faith-creed “Embrace and release the Lord’s grace*.”
*Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.* May 7, 2021 1st place, "ALL YOURS (May 16)" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 5/16/2021.

Once we have embraced God's grace we must release it to others! I love your line "Embrace and release God's grace". Congrats on your win, Beata! Blessings, Kim M
