Plea for Spiritual Nourishment

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6 King James Version of the Bible
Revival cries my soul in need Struggling against guilt of sin-breed Then comes heaven’s refreshing light… Lord, You nourish me with delight. My heart craves for mercy and grace Longing warmth of divine embrace Then responds caring kindness might... Lord, You nourish me with delight. Faith wavers due to mocking doubt Leaving me with skeptical pout Then Your cheers smite unbelief’s blight… Lord, You nourish me with delight. My hope hides discontentment pain As hypocrisy inflicts strain Then flow supplies from blessings’ site… Lord, You nourish me with delight. Receiving pardon from above Grants me Your precious gift of love Then peace seeks me in prayer flight… Lord, You nourish me with delight. Thanking You, God, in praise-filled bliss Never Your fellowship to miss Then now I say midst service-height… Lord, You nourish me with delight.

"Receiving pardon from above Grants me Your precious gift of love Then peace seeks me in prayer flight… Lord, You nourish me with delight." Through repentance, our sins are forgiven and we partake of God's love. Thus God nourishes us with delight ! Lovely devotional poem. Congratulations Beata on your great win.
