“Life --- commenced by God’s love, with soul quickened through His grace, spirit revived in His strength, faith buttressed upon His truth --- abides forever worshipful.” Poet (Beata B. Agustin)
Guilty, devoid of own righteousness in God’s sight
Condemned to hell’s wrath, my soul was transgression-slain
Yet, the Lord reached out to me from His lofty height
Offering compassion of eternal life gain.
Hopelessly perishing, but now redeemed by grace
My spirit praises the Saviour with grateful glow
Exalting His holy name upon Scriptures' brace
While serving in His ministry of blessings’ flow.
Receiver of love’s opulence midst pardon seal
My heart rejoiced for gift that was sacrifice-priced
Such did ransom me from sin torturous ordeal
paid sufficiently by the blood of Jesus Christ.
I cleave* to the Almighty, upheld by His hand
Triumphantly worshipping as His called servant
Sharing the Gospel all the way to promised land
Awaiting His coming; with prayer, observant.
Guilty, devoid of own righteousness in God’s sight
Hopelessly perishing, but now redeemed by grace
Receiver of love’s opulence midst pardon seal
I cleave to the Almighty, upheld by His hand.
*Deuteronomy 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

You were my mentor of The Word
My mother-in-law, my friend
You taught me of your Holy God
Whose throne will never end
You were my Naomi,
I, Mother, was your Ruth
Your precious face shown golden
As you taught of Heavenly Truth
Naomi, where you are I too
Will one day follow to dwell with you
Because you took my youngish hand
To dwell with you in Holy Lands
Naomi, Mother, I am your Ruth
Your light still shines beyond my youth
In heaven's glow, long now you shine
Sweet heavenly light, of God divine
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God...."
Ruth 1:16 ~KJV

Key Verse – Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
FAITH IN GOD WHO IS WITH US WHEREVER WE GO
God is with us wherever we go along His goodness
Surely instilling in us reverential fear of graciousness
While strengthening our faith’s steadfastness
For courageous walk against hopelessness.
God is with us wherever we go along His salvation-joy
Surely gladdening us to be a blessing to every girl or boy
While cheering our faith’s glow against doubts that destroy
For jubilant soulwinning that His mercies employ.
God is with us wherever we go along His holiness-fight
Surely teaching us to stay in His light
While instructing our faith’s knowledge of Bible delight
For Scriptural doctrine against deceitful blight.
God is with us wherever we go along His ruling
Surely guiding us by His wise dealing
While governing our faith’s direction-propelling
For favourable works through the Holy Spirit’s filling.
God is with us wherever we go along His reign
Surely enabling us to follow Him despite trials’ pain
While increasing our faith’s effectiveness-gain
For productive service upon stewardship-terrain.
God is with us wherever we go along His ushering hand
Surely bringing us toward the promised land
While securing our faith’s doctrinal stand
For obedient followership by His command.
God is with us wherever we go along His love indeed
Surely providing for us, meeting our need
While supplying our faith’s contentment against greed
For generous sharing toward compassionate caring breed.

~May God~
(Anaphora)
May God always care for you
May God keep you standing tall
May God whisper in your ears words of wisdom
May God show you what you need to know
May God always have an angel for you
May God send an angel by your side
May God be there to catch you fast every time you fall
May God give you someone wonderful to love
May God teach you love untold
May God give you lots of love and hopes to keep you happy and warm
May God grant you with many gifts and long life
May God keep his eyes always on you
May God guide every single step of your way
May God keep you from each and all harm each day
May God always send an angel beside you
May God bless you with lots of wisdom and good health
May God always speak to your heart mind and soul.

~ Author's Notes:
~The Anaphora ~
In writing or speech, the deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect is known as Anaphora.
Anaphora, possibly the oldest literary device, has its roots in Biblical Psalms used to emphasize certain words or phrases. Gradually, Elizabethan and Romantic writers brought this device into practice. Examine the following psalm:
“O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?”
The repetition of the phrase “O Lord,” attempts to create a spiritual sentiment. This is anaphora.
It is common for us to use anaphora in our everyday speech to lay emphasis on the idea we want to convey or for self affirmation.
O' Salty tear, a mere clear drop that you are
You've emerged for a million different reasons
many of which only the shedder knows
for you've emerged in all seasons.
The season of sadness or reason of joy
the tears of grief and the tears of joy
You and your unalloyed saline taste
thou art' but an emotional waste.
O'Salty tear each time you drop into oblivion
why not vanish away with your shedder's grief?
I tell you O' tear if you're to take my opinion
oughtn't you grant your shedder full relief?
Ah but thou art' a ceaseless ocean in reserve and store
No one can be sure, he'll cry no more
When you trickle down those sad upturned lips
we know destiny perhaps made those painful slips!
You are the raindrops of a grief-clouded heart
You do emerge when two lovers have to part
Help your shedder turn over a new leaf
so you're associated less with grief.
I've watched many a jilted lover
weep all alone by the sea-side most sorrowfully
and watched tears glide down noses or pince-nez
as their salty tears merged into the salty sea.
O' Salty tear but it's time you learnt to wash away
all and any poignancy from your shedder's heart
and be such a buddy who never wishes to meet again
the tearful shedder from whom you depart!
Would an ocean form created by ditched lovers
if someone collected their fallen tears?
May 13 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 63-65
Key Verse – Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR CAUSING ME TO APPROACH YOU
Thank You for causing me to approach You with humility
To beg for Your power midst weakness-frailty
Against pride and selfishness’ vanity
By Your subduing might’s certainty.
Thank You for causing me to approach You with devotion
To praise Your name midst worship-jubilation
Against boredom and weariness’ dysfunction
By Your loving kindness’ inspiration.
Thank You for causing me to approach You with faithfulness
To see Your glory midst majesty-brightness
Against transgression and iniquity’s filthiness
By Your pardoning mercy’s forgiveness.
Thank You for causing me to approach You with confidence
To seek Your presence midst worldliness-turbulence
Against unbelief and doubtfulness’ insolence
By Your controlling sovereignty’s prevalence.
Thank You for causing me to approach You with delight
To enjoy Your fellowship midst supplication-plight
Against carnality and lustfulness’ blight
By Your reviving warmth’s light.
Thank You for causing me to approach You with gratitude
To exalt Your name midst magnification-magnitude
Against discontentment and bitterness’ attitude
By Your transforming work’s fortitude.

Little bits of bitterness
is trying to hold on;
This time
Time is teaching ,
the Art of withdrawn.
In panic; the pain
The sunshine to the droplets of rain
They say it will come,
Eventually through Time .
Even The black thundering nights have blue sky
Hidden behind.
It shall come thou ;
But it feels empty ,
without thee.
Its been too long to feel that
It feels to Disown the thought
that makes me think
I am nothing without it.
The time to Summon;
of feeding myself the bad times
Creation of my identity
is lot more than
the toxic things I shall Whine.
Let,
myself own the decision without
Ruling things that could not possibly Be.
A loose end to this thread; just
let it Be.
The way it started
It was your first start;
before even happening
You lived it throughout that.
Attachments are hard.
Work ,Relations and where not?
The time you give In
The satisfaction will start to sound ,
More of you ,Life;
In the harder way
Makes You come Out.
August 24 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 45-47
Key Verse – Jeremiah 45:3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS HELP AGAINST OUR WOES
Praise be to God for helping us in our woes since He:
Grants us His grace midst our guilt
Gives us His goodness along our griefs
Guides us with His gentleness and gladness
Governs us by His grandeur always guarding
Girds us upon His generosity against our greed
Jeremiah 46:28 Praise be to the Lord for
correcting us by:
Smiting our pride
Seeking our praise
Showing our poverty
Shaping our personality
Subduing our perversion
Jeremiah 47:4 Praise be to the Saviour for
shielding us against spoilage to:
Deliver us from destructive disaster
Direct us toward determined decision
Draw us to Him by His delightful defense
Drive us away from discouraging distraction
Declare to us His distinctives on which we depend. Amen!

Did Moses say that you enter into life
or did he say you can enjoy life
If you follow the Law in Romans 10:5?
"O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: they are ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way." [a]
Is Jesus the Savior of all men?
As we read in 1 Timothy 4:10?
Yes and no. He is the Savior of those who believe
He is the provider of necessary things
for all and those who have not been again conceived
"He saves some men in all ways, and all men in some ways" [b]
Common grace and saving grace
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth [c]
—For What Could Not Die—
They say true love outlives the reach of death;
then why make war when we must say goodbye?
If wrath can keep thy shadow warm with breath,
why forge another bond before we die?
Thou lift thine eyes into the vacant blue,
as though some hidden dweller waits for you;
and sleep withdraws when evening seals the night,
as if one absent face withholds the light.
I ask the men who trade in roads and bread;
they name each street, yet cannot name thy trace.
The world wakes on; I hear its iron tread,
yet every road goes empty in thy place.
That primal word—Be—called the dark to flame;
thou mayst unmake my world, not what became.
