The Gift of Grace by Akinlabi Oluwadamilola Happiness

 

I was told there’s a package for me.
A package so full of peace and my desires.
Does such package exists?
I peeped into the Package and couldn’t believe it was mine,
A rare gift that I can’t keep all the way from a God.
My package I dare to say has a divine aura and touch.
It’s like a drop of water to my parched field
It’s the grace of God which never ends,
It surprisingly engulfs me like a warm blanket in a cold night
Aside from Its  tenderness, it can also reveal who I desperately want to be
Like a light breaking through the dark, this package calls for me;
It beckons on me to open it and explore its contents.

13 I hear come, come, and taste what I have to offer.

This package offers me lasting peace from my guilt,
It saves me from miseries with its compassionate strokes.
Lo! I’m not merely freed from my miseries; I dare control what happens around me
My heart sings a new rhyme and each pattern of beat echoes love and joy,
I tower above my misdeeds and the fears that plague me.
As my eyes closed each day in bed, my old life closes and fades like a faint dream
I fully claim this package because it’s the best thing I will ever see in life.
I’m glad to see myself not from a condemning view but from a pure and right one.
Now, I bear the seal of the package owner.

23 I bear his love and light.
I bear his light so much that I attract darkness!
Darkness seems captivated by this new me,
The whispers of the world comes in a new way,
It comes with enchanting tales that breeds pride in me.
But Grace speaks sweetly than these tales,
I am empowered to walk distinctly!
No longer am I bound to the past and this world,
I now live by His Word, pure and strong.
As I forge ahead strongly, I know that I have 

33 The mandate to rise, not sink.
I am united with Christ!
I know he is in me, and I in Him.
Like a fresh spring within me, His presence flows.
With every inch of my cell,
I’m no longer lost or alone,
He bears over me like a tall and sturdy tree,
Giving me the shade needed on a hot day.
I am bound in love, forever held by him,
He sustains me like the branch I am,

43 To his Everlasting Vine.
Grace so strong that I dare not walk in fear,
It so bold that it swallows my weaknesses without feeling bad.
It’s always there with its arm stretched when I’m at my lowest,
Grace  lifts me when trials appear.
It tells me that I’m covered all around.
With grace, I stand, I fight, and I reign,
Grace bestows upon me the Conqueror’s crest.
By His holy name, I conquer!
I conquer from victory, not fear.

53 No more defeat, I rise always!
I rule with influence
No longer a beggar; I wear a crown.
I’m affiliated legally and spiritually with him,
I’m a bona fide daughter, not a cast away.
Heaven’s glory marks my way,
I enjoy God’s grace
His grace turns my night to day,
Grace makes impossible possible in my life
Protocols have nothing on a royalty
 

63 I am chosen, called, and free.
I won’t hide this gift from you
The many we are that enjoy it, the merrier it is.
Come dear friend, hearken unto the call of Grace.
His grace is near, it’s free for all,
It’s enveloping, and without recompense,
Bade your byes to shame,
Chains has nothing on you,
So, let US walk in power with abounding love,
I am His.
You are His. 

74  PARTAKE and reign!
