Remember the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 8:18; NLT).
If you remember me,
Do as I bid:
Loving your neighbours,
Just as I did.
If you believe in me,
Strive to do good:
Loving each stranger,
Just as I would.
If you depend on me,
Help others, too:
Loving each foreigner,
Just as I do.
No matter what happens,
Hold fast to me, still:
Loving your enemies –
Just as I will.
I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God’ (Hosea 2:23; NIV).
