“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7?-?8 NIV Blessed is the one Who seeks the Lord With a contrite heart When the tongue was stuck to roof of mouth From all the poisoned water Having to spit out Seeking the living water to provide The everlasting drink of the spirit Molding into a new creation Snatched away from death Conforming to a new love and guidance Written on the heart and mind. Circumcising the old self Through Christ sword to separate Receiving understanding and knowledge Of things going on within and around one From His source of living streams, cultivating Fruit of joy, peace , love, joy , comfort And humility of the grace and mercy Poured out unto thee to tell of your love. Seeing we can do nothing in own works But through Christ that worketh Comes an abundance of strength Giving up this fight with quarrels of evil around one To be pulled out away from the chaos In calmness in knowing it's all in God's hands For God rises the sun in the morning And lights up the darkness at night That one might one day see His majestic power surrounding And reminding of your choice To remain in darkness or become of light.

God gives us strength, Stephan if we ask. Who wouldn't want Love, Joy and Peace. I choose to seek God! :D Beautiful (Prose), I think. It almost looks to me like it could be made into an acrostic.

Blessed is the one who sieeks the Lord. We ourselves are incapable of doing any good. Peace ,joy and comfort come only from God. One who knows this will be full of humility and he will be ready to change himself into a new creation. Beautiful thoughts dear Stephan. Stay Blessed dear friend.
