mirrors...
reflecting the one peering in...
seeing what I like
overlooking the rest
children...
reflecting the one scrutinizing...
seeing what I don't like
ignoring the rest
so often I see myself
in the eyes that look back
I quickly notice their faults
but overlook my own...
why is it that I so quickly see
their small blemish...
really no bigger than a freckle
and so easily fail to see
my gross sin...
a large growth choking out my heart?
Perhaps
God gave me these children
to be a mirror to my heart...
showing me how He sees me...
grace covering imperfection
love seeing beauty.
mirrors...
a lesson in giving grace...
seeing true beauty.
