Ministering Privilege

Amazed with miracle healings of God
Braced am I to minister by His nod
Circumspectly following path He trod...

Doctor of heart heals* by His love’s power
Easing afflictions thru blessings’ shower
Fortifying health welfare to flower...

Guarding soul midst merciful concern’s care 
Hoisting spirit toward good service-dare...

Illness inflicted by sins He can cure
Jesus is His name, my Lord and Saviour...

King of Kings, Physician almighty great
Life-Giver of heaven’s excellent rate
My life He does nourish with values' trait...

Nestling I am in His nursing nurture
Offered to exercise service-venture...

Praying to volunteer in reaching-out
Quieting miseries by fighting doubt
Restoring trust's loss with faith's prudent re-route...

Sharing the Gospel of salvation might
Testifying of His redemption-light

Upholding virtues of genuine goodness
Valuing all tasks by His graciousness 
Working toward servanthood faithfulness...

Xenial to needy, offering comfort
Yielded I am to His compassion-fort
Zoomed to doing miraculous effort.

*Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

Congratulations Beata on your win with your finely crafted Abecedarian! This has a really nice flow. I love the line "nestling I am." Wonderful image. This reminds me of Psalm 119 where every verse starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Blessings to you.

ABC poems are so difficult, but you have made this one SEEM easy. You are fooling me not one whit, my friend. They are difficult! The problem is, this one flows so well, no one will know....
