We Will Show Our Love
“We are on in the spirit, we are one in the Lord, and we pray that all unity
May one day be restored” - from the hymn
They Will Know We are Christians by Our love
Written by Father Peter Scholtes in the 1960’s.
We will show our love to everyone, not just our favorites
We will appeal to the small and the big, the old and the toddlers
We will include everyone – no matter what beliefs or affiliations.
We will pick up every lamb we can, appealing to them by their interests.
We will learn about them and listen to them, and uplift them.
If they are fearful or shy or ignorant or go another route
We will leave the invitation open, leaving them with a loving feeling
Letting them know that it is never too late, we will be around the corner.
They can catch up and they will be welcome like prodigal sons and daughters.
We will show them by our love that we plan to love them no matter what
Unconditional love is what is going to take to unite us
Let’s go out and love everyone we can
Listen to them first.
For we cannot be understood
unless we are willing to understand.
God is on our side. He will show us the way.
After all, His love is unconditional isn’t it?
