Hope

Hope

Haiku of encouragement

Revelation’s book:

words to bring hope, encourage,

when all presses in.

The Lord returns soon

to reward and to repay

those who act with faith.

Alpha, Omega,

the first and the last; Jesus

bringing fulfilment.

Wedding images,

speaking of consummation

and invitation.

If you are thirsty

receive the water of life.

Come! It is God’s gift.

He did not come soon.

There must be deeper meaning

in these words of hope.

Come Lord! is their cry.

But is he still to come, or

already with us?
