Beata Agustin Poet Kyrielle

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.

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.
