Unburdened
Merciful
Steadfast love
Restoring heart’s spirit
Christ’s blood cleansing sin
Redemption
Unruffled
Enduring
Human trials
Believing in God
Trusting always without fear
Obedience
Untroubled
Worshipping
With gladness
Praising Spirit’s goodness
Tasting genuine, faithful love
Peace

All present the ideals of how we should be. I confess I’m not always unruffled, etc., but I am a work in progress and I am getting better at resting in Him. I like all of your poetry but your Elfchens fascinate me with their simple verses and deep truths.

Vickie, thanks for sharing. Our life journey is filled with ruffled moments, but God understands that we are still being molded and shaped by His watchful eye and grace-filled hands.
