Worthy of God's call

Haiku responding to 2 Thes 1:1-4, 11-12


They write to the church

at Thessaloniki; Paul,

Silas, Timothy.


A greeting of peace

and grace; reflecting their love,

expressing their thanks.


They commend the faith

growing abundantly, at

Thessaloniki.


The love grows, too;

source of wonder and delight.

The writers take pride.


They boast of the love

and steadfast faith in the face

of persecutions.


We pray that God will

empower you, and make you

worthy of God's call.


May you bring glory

to Jesus' name, according

to the grace of God!
