Reflecting on Grace

I have been called upon of late

To reflect on my life
And on the fact that I’ve been loved
Through triumph and through strife.
 
I look upon the face I see
Looking back at me now
And see so many scars and flaws
That I’ve survived somehow.
 
I gaze upon a face so marred
By doubt and fear some days
That I know I only got through
On Grace and songs of praise.
 
I see in me the palest shade
Of who I ought to be
And yet I see also the love
Of those who cherish me.
 
We’re all so blessed to know His love,
And count on His embrace,
Though we are but a reflection
Of His unending grace.
 
2 Timothy 2:7
Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
