Serving God With Reverence

Encompassed with God’s wondrous love*, gripped by faith's grace I’m secured from the condemnation-wrath of hell Where endless apathy reigns upon hatred’s brace Of vindictive consternation and guilt's angst-swell… Grateful, I submit to the Lord with reverence Serving midst bliss of unearthliness preference Pardoned from selfish predilection and pride’s trace.
*Deuteronomy 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you... October 30, 2018 3rd place, "7 Lines, 7 Words: Rhyme" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Lu Loo; judged on 11/27/2018.
