Reflecting Him, Not Me

 

We see ourselves through our own eyes,
Thinking others do, too.
Yet, they see us in their own light,
From their own point of view.
 
I am not always the best me.
In that, I’m not alone.
We ought to reflect grace to all
And not a heart of stone.
 
Yet, more often we show the world
Our broken, human side.
Thinking we’re reflecting You, while
Showing not grace, but pride.
 
We need to learn to reflect You
And praise You before all.
We won’t be perfect reflections,
But we can share Your call.
 
Lord, help us to walk humbly and
Praise You every day,
That, when others see us, they see
Your Light to mark the way.
 
Matthew 5:16
"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
