Haiku for the
humble
We have this
treasure,
the apostle
asserted,
in earthen vessels.
These common clay
pots,
plain and
undecorated,
hold the light of
Christ.
Humble followers,
nothing special
about us;
yet he shines
within.
Proclaim him as
Lord,
for truly he is the
one
God has sent to us.
The light that we
bear
is knowledge of
God’s Glory
seen in Jesus’
face.
We are afflicted,
persecuted and
struck down,
but we are not
crushed.
We have been
perplexed
but not driven to
despair,
nor are we alone.
Bearers of the death
of Jesus in our
bodies,
his life is here,
too.
As long as we live
his death is at work
in us;
to shape and renew.
