My child, please remember
In all whom you see
Do always your best
To also see Me.

For in every child,
In every father and mother,
In every girl and boy,
Every sister and brother,



In each and every person,
Whether young or old,
There lies a treasure
Yet often untold:

I love each one,
For each soul I did die;
So let the image of Me
Come to mind’s eye.



For if I love each one so,
I call you to love too;
As you desire to be treated
Unto others also do.

Though they may not know Me,
Though they may be in sin,
New life in their hearts
At any time could begin.



So this is My call,
My will and My command:
To each person give love,
Reach out your hand.

As you love yourself
Love all whom you meet,
Then you will feel My love
Ever eternal and sweet.



Love one another
As I have loved you;
This, My precious child,
I call you now to do.

In serving your neighbor,
In loving one another,
You are surely My family,
My sister or brother.



So, child, please remember
In all whom you see
Open your eyes wide
To also see Me.
