Illumined By God
Illumined by God thru the Scriptures’ light
Led to do the Lord’s will with the Spirit’s might
Loved so much around the Saviour’s compassion-delight
Upheld for faith-driven good works’ height
Moved toward grateful worship, joyously bright
Imparted with divine nature that is godly and right
Nourished by grace* and mercy day and night
Assured of eternal salvation’s security for heaven’s flight
Directed along holiness-walk midst spiritual fight
Attended to in prayer plight, I rejoice in the Father's presence, devoid of fright!
Accepted am I as God’s child with His certainty
Guided by His prudent authority
United to His supreme purpose of great sovereignty
Sanctified for effective witness-integrity
Taught to trust always the wisdom of the Almighty
Inspired as enabled in fulfilling steward’s duty
Nurtured with God’s provisions, I abide in His security!
Driven toward willing obedience faithfully
Ordered to share the Gospel diligently
Liberated against selfish agenda powerfully
Instructed with Bible truths constantly
Named as God’s own to live for Him triumphantly
Trained to testify about His goodness gladly
Always, I thank and praise the Lord sincerely.
*Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

My Dearest Sister Ming,
A blessed birthday to you. I love you. . I believe that this poem echoes your testimony.
3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
