Haiku responding to 1 Pt 4:12-14, 5:6-11
There's some heavy stuff
going down; it will test you,
this fiery ordeal.
Rejoice as you share
Christ's sufferings, you'll then be glad
to see his glory.
If you are reviled
for Christ's sake, you'll be blessed; God's
Spirit rests on you.
Be humble, trust God.
When the right time has arrived
you'll be exalted.
Do you feel anxious?
Bring all your anxieties
to your God who cares.
Discipline yourselves,
be alert. Confront evil,
be steadfast in faith.
Sisters and brothers
all around the world, suffer
because of their faith.
You suffer for now;
the God of grace will restore
you and make you strong.
