A SUSTAINING JOY

A SUSTAINING JOY

 

A sustaining joy…

Not giddy, not “fun.”

Not needing what I get

From any someone.

 

A sustaining joy

Down deep in the soul,

Felt as an anchor;

I’m being made whole.

 

A sustaining joy,

The joy of sacrifice,

Made for another,

Grace to pay a price.

 

A sustaining joy,

Freed from self’s slave chains.

Freed to love the hard,

No matter the pains.

 

Like Jesus.
