As Water Reflects

 

I look in awe upon the earth,
This creation You made,
With all its beauty, majesty
And mystery displayed.
 
The patterns of the earth and sky
Connect so vibrantly,
But now and then a pattern forms
That steals my breath from me
 
The peaceful lake reflects the sky
In whatever its tone,
Grey when the clouds come rolling in,
Deep blue when they have flown.
 
Yet, up against the shoreline, there,
Where water meets the trees,
The lake becomes a vibrant green.
It reflects what it sees.
 
A lesson in beauty and joy,
But more than that to me.
It reminds me to reflect back
The loving God I see.
 
Let Your love be what others see
Reflected on my face,
And let my words and deeds each day
Mirror Your wondrous grace.
 
Proverbs 27:19
As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.
