New "My Form Created" Poem

 Soul Rewards

I've often wondered what I work towards

In obeying what His word commands

Now it's clear to me, it's for soul rewards

For in my actions each day He records

To this I pray I be where He planned 

As I've often wondered what I work towards

I do know faithfulness He awards

In this my being greatly stands

As it's clear to me, it's for soul rewards

To my obedience and trust in Him

I believe this work is pleasing my soul

As to joy my being sings a hymn

This deep down reward has become my goal 

Wondering how I functioned without

As this feeling does make my being whole

When in life others questioned what it's about

I've often wondered what I work towards

But now my soul praises Him with a shout

As it clear to me, it's for soul rewards

Thoughts: In life we are in a race to the end. Some will make it and some will drop out before even getting close to the finish line. The end in obeying and having faith in the Lord will be greatly rewarded. Our soul will shine in right-....-ness with a brand new body. "Do you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified" (1 Corinthians 9:24-27. NKJV).  It's kind of like: Do what you preach or walk what you talk. What good is it to talk or preach something yet one doesn't do it. Even when it seems your at a holt or not moving forward in your obedience and faithfulness towards the Lord, He knows and sees you. Moreover, your being is maturing and shinning more and more in soul rewards.
