Hope's Frame...

Good/Happy gorgeous, Friday May morning to you... Across the eastward brink of earth, a sea of unplumbed moments tollsSomething about a new day’s birth wakens awareness in our soulsFor He who sets before our gaze, Hope’s Frame filled with mercy renewedTo author a glad hymn of praise and unspeakable gratitude Ahoy! The hours fleetly fly between daybreak and twilight’s knellSoon their plumbed aftermath will lie like husks strewn where dusk’s shadows fellLeaving behind the words and deeds we tossed like seeds along the wayA blend of fruit, flowers and weeds that will be threshed on …compelling us to pay close heed to track-records not finished yetTo study and ponder the seed that that we are so prone to forgetTo regard with attentive care those who are following behindAnd to be solemnly aware of sheaves we leave for them to bind Across earth’s eastward brink a sea of unplumbed mercies bares God’s heartHis love for all humanity should bid us do our earnest partTo fill the Day that fleetly spans the distance between faith and sightWith love because His mercy fans the flame that fills hope’s frame with Light © Janet Martin Eph.1:17-19 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. today's poem was inspired in part by the passages above and below;Does the phrase, 'God, who is rich in mercy'not offer food for glorious meditationas we wonder and ponder the riches of His great power and glory?!! Eph.2:1-10As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
