All of the beings on the earth are shaken
by moving wind, quaking ground and flowing time.
All of the human beings on the earth are shaken every day
by wavering feelings, confused minds and ambiguous ideas.
What Are You Afraid Of?
Category: Poem
What Do You Believe?
Are you still uncomfortable with what I tell you?
Do I offend you or throw you into confusion? (1)
Is it still hard to accept the light which I give? (2)
If you cannot understand the words that I have told you,
How can you trust that I am from God?
Better for You
Of a person who is undergoing suffering,
You are still disputing and asking: “who sinned,
This person or his parents, that he was born blind?” (1)
Tears of Painful Love
“Lord, behold, Lazarus whom you love is sick.”
He said to those who Mary and Martha sent from Bethany,
“This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God.”
You Will Not Be Alone
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. (1)
But I will not leave you as orphans,
I will come back to you soon. (2)
A Stream of Living Water
You who understand, recognize and accept Me,
From your innermost being streams of living water will flow. (1)
Come, all of you who are thirsty in this wilderness-like world;
Drink the living water I offer you in your deep hearts. (2)
Why Do You Not Believe Me?
If God so clothes the grass of the field,
will God not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? (1)
Why are you afraid, you people of little faith? (2)
Work to Revive
“Do not work for food that spoils.
Work for food that that endures to eternal life.”
Even though we have worked hard our whole life,
we have not a question about our ordinary life.
I Do Not Condemn You!
“If any one of you is without sin,
Let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” (1)
An uncomfortable silence flowed into each conscience;
Because the silence was too heavy,
One by one, the accusers turned to go.
