People will read your gospel
long before they read the Gospel...
if they ever do read God’s word
written in holy scripture
in their time on earth...
 
You may be the only Christ they see
You might be their Gospel -
How you walk in this life
is far more important
than any words you speak...
 
Do not quench the Spirit,
the good news of scripture,
with your words and actions...
Put on Christ daily
as you live out your life...
 
Be present, mindful,
of these words of truth...
 
People will read your gospel
long before they read the Gospel...
if they ever do read God’s word
written in holy scripture
in their time on earth...

Do people see His likeness? - 2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #fear #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #powerless #admit #likeness #image

From the dust God formed us,
breathing life into our days…
Created in His image,
to reflect His holy ways…
 
Do people see His likeness
in the paths our footsteps trace…
in the mercy we show others,
in the kindness on our face…
 
God is righteous and eternal,
pure in justice, full of grace…
yet we walk as fragile vessels,
bearing scars of fallen race…
 
Still He calls us to His purpose,
to shine light where shadows live…
showing love through humble actions,
through the grace we freely give…
 
Do people see God’s likeness
as we walk this earthly span…
do they glimpse His light and mercy
through the witness of our hands…
 
For the world will read our living
more than words our voices say…
may His image shine within us
as we walk His narrow way…

We are created for a purpose—
to reflect God’s glory…
God made us in His image
to be a Light to this world…
 
Do people see His likeness
in our words, in our actions…
God is righteous, loving,
while we are broken flesh…
 
We are to be God’s image,
His Light in Creation…
Others are watching our actions
more than the words we repeat…
 
Do people see God’s image
when they look upon our journey…
God has anointed us righteous
to shine His Light in this world…
