Blessed Assurance (an Acrostic Sonnet +)

Be still, be still, and know that I am God.[i]

Let this assurance echo through your soul.

Escape the harmful path of doubt you trod

So that the Love of God can make you whole.

See even further to the cross that Jesus hung.

Enjoin uncertainty if you believe

Death lost its grip on Him when new life sprung

And this He did to all your sins relieve.

See how you call on God and call Him Father;

Such is the name so spoken by His child.

Unless you know this true then why so bother?

Rush to His open arms, you are now styled,

Adopted through the blood that Jesus shed;

Now doubt no more! You are no more enslaved!

Christ paid the price, so let all doubt be dead.

Embrace with full assurance that you're saved.
