Blessed to Be Grateful - Collaboration

1. I am blessed by God 
    Justice and mercy 
    are found in the grace of the Lord 
    I am blessed by His Holy Spirit. 
   
2.        Thus, my heart praises the Triune Almighty
            basking in His wondrous love and compassion
            assured with His trustworthy promise:
           “… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”*

3. I am thankful for...  a jealous God 
    who protects His children from Satan, 
    themselves and from the world. 
    Indeed, His power is within us. 
	
 4.         Hence, with gratefulness to the omnipotent Christ
	my soul cleaves to Him and to His immutable truth
	while overcoming doubt, fear, despair with His presence
	reverberating “Peace I leave with you…”** 

5. I cannot face my challengers alone; 
    I  cannot find solutions by myself. 
    But I do find strength and wisdom 
    and I am eternally grateful for... 
    sufficiency in the grace of God. 
	  
6.            Therefore, my spirit is fortified by His upholding might
	  to surmount trials prayerfully along life’s race
	  while enabled with His goodness for stewardship glow
                serving Him in ministering to others as a blessing
                trusting His wisdom: 
               “Abide in me… for without me ye can do nothing.” *** 

7.  He knows better than I what I need; 
     God takes my breath away
     and replaces it with His own Spirit. 
	
8.           Now and forever, I am His precious child
              granted with divine nature to please Him by faith
              so while awaiting His coming, I stri to live for His glory
              testifying: “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; 
              and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.”****

Premium Member Let's Please God

Let’s please God with our faith* while growing biblically
Showing Christ-likeness believably
Revealing scriptural wisdom boldly
Presenting eternal life blissfully
Exposing heaven beautifully.

Let’s please God with our love while proclaiming His message confidently
Sharing the Gospel and salvation plan capably
Conveying Bible truths for Christian nourishment constantly
Illustrating discipleship lessons clearly
Explaining stewardship blessings conscientiously.

Let’s please God with our joy while heralding the good news of hope dutifully
Informing the lost of His truth’s assurance determinedly
Inspiring the discouraged of the Father’s care discerningly
Persuading the proud of the Spirit’s work decisively
Warning the skeptics of imminent judgments dauntlessly.

Let’s please God with our trust while communicating for Him earnestly
Standing with sanctified posture enthusiastically
Walking according to Spirit’s direction eagerly
Influencing others through good work’s gestures emphatically
Expressing sweet fellowship with the Lord endearingly.

Let’s please God with our sacrifice while delivering His tidings of peace faithfully
Enunciating “Thus saith the Lord” counsels factually
Asserting “Fear not” admonitions firmly
Uttering “The Lord is my shepherd” favourably
Saying “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” fervently.

Let’s please God with our service while exhorting believers gloriously
Voicing out the Saviour’s compassion gladly
Sounding battle cry against sin and hell’s wrath grimly
Instructing with precepts of holy living graciously
Verbalizing the great commission gratefully.

Let’s please God with our gratitude while declaring divine promises habitually
Praising His Deity in worshipping the Trinity heartily
Exalting His name in teaching His doctrines honestly
Honouring His presence in living for Him healthily
Testifying of His awesomeness in yielding to Him humbly.

*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Premium Member Poets' Pursuits Beyond Writing

Abounding in seemingly infinite activities for actualization
Bards are we, bestowed with busyness beyond poetry writing’s best
Chores of caring await like being coaches, cheerers, counselors
Duty-bound, we can do these or that and such with diligence…
	
Earnest in our roles as parents and family members, ever-endearing
Fulfilling entrusted assignments along faithfulness fortitude
Guards, governors, guides … glowing in goodness
Helping, healing, hoisting hearts upon hope’s herald…

Influencing against impossibility’s impact 
Joy-sharers while journeying with jubilation
Kindness’ sowers, as well as instructors of knowledge
Loving, leading, learning along the light…

Managers, merchandisers, or ministers
Nourishing talents and gifts, knocking off negligence
Open to development opportunities
Planting, praying, pursuing toward prosperity
Quitting not to live in contentment’s quietude…

Reconciliators or reconcilers, rejoicing for relationship restoration
Singers or perhaps speech makers, truth --- spreading 
Triumphantly testifying with thanksgiving*
Upholders of righteousness in our undertakings
Voicing out vigilantly against violence…

Worshipers while watchers of grand children (soon) ... wisely
Xylophone players maybe, while basking under bliss of xanadu
Yearning for yields with strength of youthfulness 
Zealously we zoom to accomplish much midst passionate zest.

*2Corinthians 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
