I Am What I Am

I am what I am because of God and His grace*. He defines my being and shapes my becoming. Guarding me verily with His constant presence He, my Saviour, secures me forever from hell. As my Lord strengthens my faith that looks unto Him Toward faithful service I march on midst trials. Despite turmoil in His entrusted ministry I cling to Him, glowing by His goodness' radiance. While seeking my Master first and His righteousness My heart in sweet communion esteems Him dearly. He directs my steps thru His enlightening Word His precepts illumine me for holiness’ walk. Toward reaching-out triumph my great Guide leads me... Perfecting my life I offer for His honour.
*1Corinthians 15:10 "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain..." February 22, 2019

Of course it is wonderful, especially this line, "My heart in sweet communion esteems Him dearly."
