From John 1:16-17: “From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
Best and worst of times
God’s grace always chimes
Loving and caring
Promises bearing
God remains at hand
Faith and hope shall stand
Seeking empty hearts
Molding time’s restart
Life’s melody plays
Offer Him our praise
God’s grace taking root
Peace filling love’s flute
Gloom and doom appear
Allow Him to steer
God’s love shows He cares
Guiding day’s affairs
Hope’s beacon awaits
In His hands, our fate
Witness as His child
Life no longer wild
Forgiveness and love
Shared from God above
God’s grace shapes life’s frame
Praise His Holy name
From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
This poem is inspired from some past entries in my “Take-Aways” journal. Each entry is based upon something read and studied in a morning devotional.
Part of my daily devotional today is to ponder about God’s grace. This poem fits right in! Thanks! 🌟

That’s a delightful set of (are they called) couplets… My favorite was “God’s love shows He cares/Guiding day’s affairs.” He certainly does … and I am so grateful! ❤

Jan, I appreciate your remarks. Your “favorite” adds an exclamation point!! Yes, this poem uses couplets (pairs of verses). When I first started writing poetry, I used this as my primary style. Now my poetry uses a variety of styles. Sometimes the couplets work well . . . almost like a statement, then a response. Keep thinking spring!
