While scavenging a bookstore selling second-hand items, I have come across some sort of a calling card inserted into a cook book; it has a poem at the back of it that really tickled my mind that I have to take it home risking getting caught by the guard, sales ladies, and whatever you call that guy who pretends to be buying but is actually on the look out for shoplifters… (I only took the card, so I don’t have much to worry!)
The poem goes...
The Gospel According to you
The most beautiful story given to us
Was written long ago
By Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Of Christ and His mission below.
And you write a gospel, a chapter a day
By your deeds, whether faithless or true,
When others read it, what will they think
Of the gospel according to you?
It’s a wonderful story, the gospel of love
As it shines with Christ’s life divine
Oh, that its truth might be told again
In the story of your life and mine
You are writing each day a letter to men,
Take care that the writing is true.
It’s the only gospel some people may read,
That gospel according to you.
