What My Name Reverberates

MY NAME MEANS BLESSED For gift of life indeed precious Packed with love and care, so gracious My heart exclaims praise magnitude… Blessed, I give God my gratitude. Pardoned against guilt’s misery Rescued from bitterness fury My soul exalts grace-abundance… Blessed, I gain peaceful assurance. Cheered up to face toilsome hardship While ushered for earnest worship My faith beholds miracles' might… Blessed, I pray to God with delight. Striving for sublime contentment Through my heavenly engagement My spirit trusts the Saviour's Word… Blessed, I conquer by divine sword. With triumphant stewardship zeal Bearing fruits midst prayerful seal My service seeks God's approval Blessed*, I share kindness' revival.** *Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” **Last two stanzas were added after poem was judged.
