I AM IN THE SIGHT OF MY GOD
I am alive enjoying the breath
endowed by the self-existent “I AM”
fully persuaded to maximize
existence-vitality yon survival-difficulty
while sharing radiance of divine goodness.
I am a new creation
bearing the image of the Lord
accepting flaws with yielded heart
toward transformation-glow
while striving to do best with kindness-zeal
I am a vessel molded by virtues
gradually, yet struggling against pride’s grip
as self-righteousness lurks
yet submission to the Almighty braces my heart
while faith continues to cleave to grace and mercy.
I am a privileged servant
indeed, verily blessed
to work in the ministerial realm
reaching-out, proclaiming Gospel
while ceasing not to seek first God’s kingdom.
I am a grateful child of the Father*
surely benefited with His love and care
guided by the Holy Ghost
with the good Shepherd’s truth
while my soul exalts Him in my obedience.
I am a hopeful believer
envisioning eternal victory
propelled to run life’s race with patience
against challenges, trials, despair
while fulfilling my entrusted role as a life-builder.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."
