John 3:16

God so loved the world
His Son He gave, us to save
That we perish not.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 5:14

Christ's Love, us constrains
For if He has died for all
Then we were all dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revelation 3:20

He stands at Heart's Door
Knocking, that we let Him in
So with us to sup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 14:1-6 (loosely based)

Still your troubled hearts
For if you believe in God-
In Christ believe, too!

He's gone to prepare
In Heav'n you, a mansion there
With Him, e'er to live.

Thus He is the WAY
He is the TRUTH, and the LIFE--
To God our sole means.

David: God has so inspired you! You are doing some incredible writing and these are astoundingly beautiful! Pure pearls of wisdom and written with you Spirit inspired pen, they inspire us all! Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Reading passages in different form is refreshing. You manage the really tough job of not diminishing or distorting the meaning.
Thank you.

Regarding your love and knowledge of scripture, it seem that you have found a special gift in writing Bible verse in the form of haiku. Lovely little nuggets are they each one. Bob <><
