From 1 Peter 4:7-8: “The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.”

Eternity’s clock
Boundless shall be its sight
Time spent with God’s Word
Faith wrestles in His light
Invited to pray
Daily conversation
Nourishment from God
Faith’s trusted foundation
Disciplined journey
Stewardship of God’s grace
Joy of forgiveness
Faith shared, others embrace
Gathered in peace
Tomorrow shall arrive
Mercy’s breath from God
Faith encouraged to thrive
Inspired to follow through
Spirit-infused treasure
Blessed with love of God
Faith’s heavenly measure

From 1 Peter 4:12-13: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when His glory is revealed.”
Thank you, Richard for your wonderful words of encouragement from the scriptures and your reflections in poetry. Your post was/ is the message I needed to read this day. Blessings to you.
