Exactly true, and none is too bad nor too good. Whoever we are we need to humbly accept His offer of salvation. We all must be born again. Very best wishes for your entry.

Thanks, Wendy

I like the ending, sometimes people attending church do it for the wrong reason. Seeking God can happen anywhere. Believers that attend church feel closer to God by being in church is fine. Just don't attend to keep up appearances.

You have skills in writing. Do you write your church's newsletter? Did you know that they have many magazines and journals, geared specifically for Christians, some further specify that they are for Catholics, Hebrews, or Jewish and there are always the " Chicken soup for the soul" books. Keep writing.

Yes, you wrote an excellent haiku suite and proclaimed the Truth. It doesn't matter what place in life you enjoy, or who you are. All must be born again!

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Three very compelling haiku you have here, choosing a faith-based topic. The 3rd haiku is especially compelling and really catches the reader a bit surprised. It really strikes to the heart of the matter.
Syllable count is correct and all rules have been followed. Usually there is a pause in thought after the first 2 lines in a haiku with the 3rd line being a summation or an "ah ha" statement. I loosened up the rules somewhat since a traditional haiku is quite difficult to write. I've been writing them since 2009 and took 2 haiku classes here on FS eons ago. Even still I'm hell and gone from getting the hang of it.
So we'll done and best wishes for the contest.
