Enriched Personhood

Confronted with conflicting self-forces my flesh groans in adversities’ braces gripped by haughty human nature that reigns over flawed sinful carnality strains. Granted with grace of redemption by Christ my soul owns His eternal life, blood-priced along imputed righteousness divine changing me from iniquities’ design. Quickened toward God-consciousness delight my spirit yields to Almighty light striving to win own personal battles smiting selfishness, pride and greed rattles. Settling to choose best in dilemmas’ test my faith seeks truth from Scripture wisdom nest believing immutable verities learned well from discipleship certainties. Created in God’s image: wondrous deed my essence is complete through Him indeed made functional through ministerial acts living for Him, reaching-out midst peace-pacts. Staying in the center of the Lord’s will my heart contented, with love He does fill while satisfied by His faithfulness’ bliss prospered in glad service I cannot miss. Blest with uniqueness of distinct beauty my being finds worth in Jesus’ bounty He values me through His compassion wealth enriching* personhood by divine health.
*2Corinthians 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. January 26, 2021 6th place, "Non-judgmental Eye" Premier Poetry Contest Sponsored by Unseeking Seeker; judged on 1/29/2021.
