Haiku for forgetting to keep score.
Peter came and asked:
How often must I forgive
my comrades in faith?
Would seven times do?
Not really, Jesus answered;
add seventy more.
Another story.
A king forgives a huge debt.
Well done, your highness!
The king shows pity,
his debtor is much relieved.
High fives all around!
Relieved and grateful,
the man will show like pity
to others, won’t he?
Quickly forgetting
the forgiveness he received,
he demands payment.
When you have known grace
how can you not live by grace?
Unbelievable!
We forgiven ones
are expected to forgive.
End of the story.
