Life & Death Haikus: Refraining From Retaliation (Original Poem)

in #poetry6 years ago


Meek does not mean weak
When your strength resides in God
Faith in Jesus Christ...


Meek -Adjective
Quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive: she brought her meek little husband along.


Some choose to be meek because it is better to not involve oneself into an altercation and return evil with evil. Vengeance is for God to deal out, so when we show mercy and forgiveness to those who are resentful, greedy, hateful, hurtful and aggressive to us, we pour hot coals upon their head on judgement day, because God remembers both our mercy, as well as, our enemies' stubborn pride and evil ways and He shall reward us each according to our works. Some of the meekest men and women on earth are the strongest in the spiritual world with God residing in them because they are willing and accepting of His love and protection.


“The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”
(King James Version Bible - Book Psalms: Chapter 25: Verse: 9)




Regarding Jesus Christ, Our Lord & Saviour)


"15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

(King James Version Bible - Book John: Chapter 3: Verse: 15-21)
