Urgings and Encouragements

Haiku responding to 1 Thes 2:9-13


Recall our labour,

brothers, sisters; how we worked

not to burden you.


We worked night and day

so that you might hear from us

the gospel from God.


You witnessed, with God,

how pure, upright and blameless

we were toward you.


We were like parents,

urging, encouraging you all

to lead worthy lives.


We keep thanking God

that, hearing the word from us,

you knew it as God's.


We give thanks that God's

word that led you to believe,

is at work in you.
