in haiku, scripture Tags: agape, love, ransom, sacrifice, unconditional
greek word “agape”
God’s unconditional love
reaches for rebels
he humbly disrobed
to wash Judas’ dirty feet
king assumed servant role
he lay down own life
to pay ransom for captives
sweat pressed in garden
Jesus’ sacrifice
blood shed on altar for sin
perfect Lamb of God
remembering him
my first love, true love, best love
sing with gratitude
haloed moisture

in haiku, tanka Tags: happy, home, life, pilgrim, way
hiking boots and stick
take bold step, do not look back
leave it all behind
* * *
all want happy life!
but not every road leads home
pilgrims will seek truth
consider Jesus, the Way
relation, not religion
January meme at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is the “Road to Santiago”.
