Look for the truth

Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us (Colossians 3:11; NLT). 

Look for the truth
Inherent in each person.

Look for the light
That flickers in each mind.

Look for the fire
That smoulders in each spirit.

Look for the treasure
Buried in each soul.

Look for the hurt
Concealed in every outburst.

Look for the spring
Untapped in every heart.

Look for the way
That Jesus wants to show you.

Look for the Lord –
And make his love your goal.

I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you (John 13:15; NLT). 

Let love be your highest goal (1 Corinthians 14:1; NLT).

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love (Galatians 5:6; NIV).
