surround,
and yet
more than surviving
these surrounded ones
thrive and
proclaim.
Yet, confused expectations and sadness
taint.
In answer comes truth:
serve God,
wait for the Son,
be holy.
For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
