THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT

The greatest compliment
That we can give another human being
Is to tell them
That they are
An imitator of Christ
Albeit on a smaller scale

So how can we be
How will we be
An imitation of Christ
In today’s world

Be perfect in love
For every other human being

Be an imitator of Christ

Be perfect in forgiveness
For every other human being

Be an imitator of Christ

Be like Saint Francis of Assisi

Clothe the naked
Feed the poor
House the homeless

Be an imitator
Of Christ

Be an imitator
Of Saint Francis
Be perfect in love
For the lost and forlorn

Be perfect in kindness
For every other human being

Be an imitator of Christ

And though
We may not be perfection
As long as
We try
To do what we can do

Maybe someday---someway
Someone will say,

“I see Christ in you
You are an imitation of Christ”
