Poetry
(written 10-9-03)
When looking in a mirror, what do I see?
Do I see someone loved,
someone with timeless wisdom,
someone with carefree laughter
someone with mysterious potential?
Do I differentiate between
that which is urgent
and that which is important?
If so, I must enjoy life,
with all that is, is from the Lord,
from my Father and my very God.
I should know my place,
my purpose and direction.
If my way is lost I know where to turn.
For the wisdom given to me, and that all I have,
I see in the mirror and the mirror of His word,
along with the love, laughter and potential.
There is an arising confidence,
an esteeming, and not in myself.
For the Giver is One who stands faithful.
I know that in me resources lie from Him,
as He promised.
My glory is in the Giver
of all I have, that which is good.
Not in lackluster self-esteem,
but in the worthy One,
Who alone stands forever.
