Reflecting on Galations 5:1, 13-25
Haiku of life
That we might be free;
so Christ has set us free. Stand
firm; don't let it go.
Freedom's not doing
what you want; it is about
loving and serving.
All law is summed up
in the one commandment: love
neighbour as yourself.
The things you desire
are of flesh, not the Spirit.
The Spirit gives life.
All the bad stuff; strife,
envy, quarrels, drunkenness,
don't lead you to God.
Live in the Spirit;
you'll bear fruits of love, joy, peace,
patience and kindness.
Generosity,
faithfulness, self-control, these
go beyond mere law.
You belong to Christ.
The flesh must not hold you, let
the Spirit guide you.
