My Journey to God

Looking in a Mirror

Scripture tells me that I am made in the
image and likeness of God ...

I look in the mirror—
I see tired eyes; waking in the night,
Lines of worry,
Stressed features.
And a voice tells me, “Keep looking.”

I look in the mirror.
I see eyes that view my life and others,
Lines of concern for our well-being,
Stress over their future and mine.
And a voice tells me, “Keep looking.”

I look in a mirror.
I see eyes filled with love,
Lines formed in laughter and joy,
A relaxing of my features as I surrender my life to God.
And a voice tells me, “Keep looking.”

I look in the mirror.
I see a child of God,
A Christ-bearer to the world,
An unmistakable Family resemblance.
And a voice asks me, “Who do you see now?”

I see the image and likeness of
my Lord, my God, my Father.
