Life Building Commitment

Pushing backward the awful negatives My faith ascends along God’s directives Gladly sharing His love, moving upward The awful negatives, pushing backward. Praying midst Holy Spirit’s revival Trusting heaven’s grace for fruits’ arrival I work well while slothfulness defying Midst Holy Spirit’s revival, praying. Propelled by mercy against selfish gain And reaching-out to those who are in pain I seek Christ Who helps with strength’s fervency Against selfish gain, propelled by mercy. Persistent to build lives despite trials With compassionate caring portrayals I thank God Who’s graciously consistent Despite trials, to build* lives, persistent.
*Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. June 18, 2020 Swap Quatrain
