When I read the title of this contest entry, I had to pause and sing one of my favorite hymns, "Victory in Jesus," before I could continue reading.

God's grace is absolute; (AMEN!!!) We should all be able to hear God call our name, but many choose not to listen.

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Good luck with the contest.

There comes a time in our lives when darkness surrounds us and lures us to gloomy thoughts. In such dark times, what gives us motivation is the power of God. He inspires us with his teachings, lights a flame in a dark tunnel and hope starts to bloom within our hearts.I loved your spiritual poem. Good luck!

Portia,
You've written a very powerful poem--a poignant poem which gives all of us hope in embracing our Lord.
The last three stanza's stand out; they make for an a really exceptional end ing and a memorable poem.
Good luck in the contest, Portia, and God's Grace in everything you do.
You brought me to prayer tonight.
Cindy

Cindy,

It is such a blessing to see you; I now can see why there was no response to my messages to you. You have a new profile, and my messages went to your old one.

Thanks so much, my dear friend, for this exceptional review and six-star rating. Your review and very kind comments are a blessing and are appreciated. Thank you for the best wishes.

Wishing you the very best, lots of love and hugs...

Have a wonderful and blessed day,

A fine entry for the contest--your faith is made manifest in powerful imagery and phrasing--flows smoothly--any reason you didn't rhmye this couplet below? Doesn't bother me, just saying in case it matters for contest.

I am free from the suppression of sin -
God's grace is absolute; His love transcends

Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for your and very kind comments.

I am not sure what happened. I probably was just caught in the moment and didn't catch the non-rhyming. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Wonderful poem to tell the story of your faith in Christ! The first stanza depicts what the devil does. But then, comes God! Faith takes everything away from Satan and we can live in peace knowing that God has us. Thank you for sharing!


Wishing you well with your writing!

So many huge themes in this beautiful poem of faith. Overriding all is your relationship with a loving God who has brought you close to Himself. It is from the heart and beautifully written. Best wishes for the contest.

Third stanza , you might want to change that first line to ,"God corrects me when I am out of line; The poem is great with a great message. The formatting is also great with the white on grey. Good luck in the contest.
