Joyfully Serving Christ Jesus

Joyfully serving my Lord, Christ Jesus 
Empowered by the Holy Spirit with love’s earnest
Nourished is my soul by His Word’s nurture 
Nestling in His care day and night…
Ready is my faith toward rejuvenating revival
Optimizing His offered stewardship opportunities 
Secured in His salvation for steadfast Gospel sharing
Enabled in the ministry toward reaching-out effectiveness.

God I praise and thank for His gracious goodness
Exposing my heart His wondrous of great excellence
Never leaving nor forsaking me; neglecting not my needs 
Instructing me with His truths of inspiration  
Taking me to triumph as I worship Him with thanksgiving  
Affirming His presence, always marvellous* through His precious assurance. 

*Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Beata, I like how not only the first word, but the last word of each line follows the acrostic. This is a lovely birthday message to your friend and sister in Christ, but also a hymn of praise to the great God we serve. Grace and peace to you ~ John
