Who is That in the Mirror?

 

As in water

      face reflects face,

so the heart of man

      reflects the man.

              Proverbs 27. 19

(I can always tell when

the grandchildren have been here,

little evidences revealed all over,

   books, toys 

         and laughter in the halls.

So can others see

        when Jesus is here.

What is showing,

  and what is revealed

        by how we live?

What are the evidences

   that Jesus abides in my heart?

Jesus gets all over.

Others can see

   not just that He has been here,

but that He lives here

    by the reflections He brings.)

O LORD,

May we reflect You, dear Jesus,

in all that we do and say,

how we respond to others,

    and how we respond to You.

No matter what

           impossible situation

           You have placed us today,

                please reveal Yourself,

not just that we would know

     and trust You more,

but You would reflect

      Your light and grace

      to those all around us.
