You must be patient

Haiku responding to James 5:7-10


Be patient, therefore,

brothers and sisters, waiting

for the Lord to come.


As the farmer waits

the rain that waters the crop.

you must be patient.


You must be patient.

Strengthen you hearts; be ready,

for the Lord is near.


Brothers and sisters,

don't complain against your mates;

then you won't be judged.


God isn't intent

on judging you; do nothing

that leads to judgement.


Be like the prophets

who spoke in the name of God,

suffer with patience.
