Only A Reflection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How splendid are the works of He

Who formed the earth and sky,

Magnificent beyond belief

To the mere mortal’s eye.

 

We see them through a human lens,

And, thus, see partially,

For this life’s but a reflection

Of what will someday be.

 

We can’t know the eternity

He holds in His embrace,

But we have lived the miracle

Of His enduring grace.

 

How splendid is His handiwork!

Though just a reflection,

It gives us a small glimpse into

The work that He’s begun.

 

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
