Look in the mirror



Look in the mirror.  
What do you see?  
The glory in the Lord.  
Minister to me.

As you look in the mirror.
You are dressed to a “T”.
The dressing of the glory.
Keep your focus on me.  

Do not be distracted.
Focus on the mirror.  
The truth you will see.

Come to the land of milk and honey.
Examine yourself.
Flow in me.
As I flow in you.

I am your God.
There is no other.
Come stand in my glory.

  • Dougla$Irishman
    Life is not about me but others, no greater love has a person than to lay down his life for a friend ( or enemy )
    Make your life an instrument for God and not be a bystander !
    Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all ?
    Not me.
