Joy In the Lord
“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:18 of the King James Bible
Joy
from God
exudes love
glowing with hope
sparkled by grace beams
midst forgiveness delight
r a d i a t i n g faith triumph
vanquishing despair of distress
while conquering frustration-caused angst
knowing “the joy of the Lord is my strength.”
Propelled by “R e j o i c e in the L o r d always*”
my heart basks in Christ’s assured presence
as I reach-out, sharing gladness
compassionately s e c u r e d
of s e r e n e blissfulness
reigning against gloom
in mirth bubbling
to reveal
soul so
blest.
*A Bible verse in Philippians 4:4
