Responding to Galations 6:1-16
Haiku for doing good
Seek restoration
of one who has fallen short;
be gentle with them.
Shoulder the burdens
of your sisters and brothers;
so fulfil love's law.
Assess your own work
honestly; comparisons
only lead to pride.
Sow to the Spirit
and that is where you shall reap,
life that's eternal.
Let's not grow weary
in standing for what is right.
We must not give up.
When chance comes your way
do good for all; specially
the fam'ly of faith.
Boast in Jesus' cross,
not in earthly signs; turn from
the grasp of the world
Take no notice of
physical signs; what matters
is new life in Christ.
If you get this right
you will be blessed with God's peace;
you'll be a blessing.
