Below is a sonnet inspired by John 10:28, which reads in the NIV: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” The sonnet reflects the themes of divine protection, eternal security, and the unyielding love of the Shepherd.

In hands divine, where mortal fears grow still,
My soul finds rest, secure from every snare.
No force of darkness, with its fleeting will,
Can wrest me from the love that holds me there.
Eternal life, a gift that knows no end,
Bestowed by Him whose voice the heavens sing.
Through storms and trials, He shall still defend,
And shield my heart beneath His mighty wing.
No thief can steal, no power can unbind,
The promise sealed by grace that never fades.
In Christ’s embrace, my spirit is entwined,
His steadfast grip defies the fleeting shades.
Forever safe, I trust His holy plan,
Held fast within the Savior’s sovereign hand.
