Haiku of restoration.
Words on Jesus’ lips:
how the church should respond to
sinful behaviour.
We all make mistakes
do the wrong thing, hurt others;
needing forgiveness.
Even in the church
we fall short. How to react,
that is the challenge.
Save embarrassment
with a quiet word, hoping
to be reconciled.
Everybody
doesn’t want to sort things out.
Do the best you can.
If you get nowhere
don’t sweat on it. Let them go,
but don’t stop hoping.
He is surely here
in the grace and forgiveness,
as the gathering.
