Set your mind on the Spirit

Haiku responding to Rom. 8:6-11


Looking to ourselves

leads to death; to find life, peace,

look to the Spirit.


Minds set on the flesh

are hostile to God; God's law

does not rule in them.


You are not fleshly

since God's Spirit dwells in you.

You belong to Christ.


Christ dwells in you; though

the body, through sin, is dead,

the Spirit is life!


God's Spirit, who raised

Jesus to life, gives us life;

makes God's home in us.
