Indeed Blessed
Exposed to life’s enigma
midst fulfillment-search ennui
propelling courageous vigilant choice
between the ephemeral vis-à-vis the eternal
along reality continuum, challenging perceptions
upheld by differing perspectives as well as varied philosophies…
I’m grateful to the Sovereign Creator for settling me in His will divine.
Now, my spirit asserts that I do possess living faith in the Almighty God
Who quickened me, bestowing His compassionate redemptive grace
reaching down to offer me everlasting opulence through His truth
enabling vibrant relationship of partnership with Him
toward the experience of His miraculous wonders
mysterious deliverance, merciful providence
mighty dealings, magnificent fellowship.
Likewise, my soul does rejoice that I have a name written down in heaven
not thru my good works, but thru Jesus Christ’s imparted righteousness
nor because of worthy stature, but because of the Saviour’s pardon
never by religious inclination, but by the Lord’s clemency
freeing me from sin-wages’ wrathful condemnation
when I trusted HIM, and eventually sealed
assured with the Holy Ghost.
Re-created, my heart beats for my Master
converted, my mind seeks Scriptures’ direction
called to serve in His ministry, advancing His kingdom
exalting His name along faithful stewardship of blissful worship
via prayerful fortitude, battling temptations provoking selfishness
while teaching, discipling, sharing the Gospel, involving in life-building
thanking the Lord for all opportunities to abound in His work*, indeed blessed.
*1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
