(Just reflecting this afternoon on how with love in our hearts, others' hearts are reached--no matter the differences in the languages we speak. Hope this poem captures some of what I was thinking.)
A Language Universal
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
People may not understand
the words we may say.
But with love in our hearts,
they feel, he, he's okay.
(Or she.)
Christian warmth toward others --
what barriers this does span.
It's a language universal
that all instantly understand.
It was the love in Jesus' heart
that made his hearers yearn
to hear more, to follow this man;
that caused them from sin to turn.
So, wherever in this world
I may happen to go or be,
radiating more Christ-love
is the vital work for me.
