The ones who love me
Haiku for the faithful
The ones who love me,
they are those who hear my words,
who do what I say.
By your love you show
that you are mine, by keeping
my command to love.
Those who keep my word
are loved by God. We will come,
make our home with them.
Those who do not love,
who fail to keep my commands,
don’t belong to God.
I am with you still.
Soon I’ll be gone; the Spirit
will come in my name.
The Spirit speaks truth,
continues my work of peace.
Peace I leave with you.
I must go away,
to the Father; I return
to you as Spirit.
You love me: rejoice!
The new thing God is doing
is coming to pass!
