Love's Integrity

Christ said in seeing Him we see God’s face,
made like to God, we show His image too,
observing Christ and us, where is God’s trace?
Not in our looks, but what we say and do.
Integrity’s our integrated whole,
to join our different parts--what does that mean?
We act with  body, mind, with heart and soul,
Christ pitied first, then touched the leper clean.
God’s touch of love makes our compassion real,
but more, His love spurs us to do some action,
true love must show, it’s more than how we feel,
like Christ, our loving deed is our attraction.
We show God’s face in us by how we touch,
forgiven by heaven, because we have loved much.
