Prolonged Suspense
My existence-script authored by God
presents varied genre-blends
beautifying every episode
as prolonged suspense
accentuates climactic
turns and twists.
My heart longs to behold hope in its radiance
surmounting agony of lingering yesterday
through Christ’s promises
always bringing quietude
over qualms and distress
that prolonged suspense magnifies.
My faith yearns for reality-fruits
upholding steadfast trust in my Redeemer
Who grants joyous, jubilant triumph
against attacking unbelief and doubt
incessantly hurled by foes including
prolonged suspense-mockers.
My soul desires complete freedom
from guilt’s torturous haunting
only pardon from the Lord can quell
as sin-confession earnestly prevails
beseeching sanctification-serenity
prolonged suspense attempts to block.
My spirit anticipates eternal life optimization
along wondrous worship for the Almighty
by His grace, power and mercy
while striving to overcome trials
vanquished upon supplication moments
prolonged suspense challenges.
My whole being awaits the arrival of the King of kings
midst ministerial stewardship roles
and multi-faceted servanthood privileges
with propelling diligence
though admitting weariness
prolonged suspense fortifies.
My future claims for everlasting heavenly glory
assured by the Father, the Saviour, and the Holy Ghost
to me that bears divine nature
established upon Scriptures’ verity
forever to dwell in celestial mansion*
never can prolonged suspense hinder.
*John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
