When I look in the mirror what do I see
Is it really truly me?
I can see my eyes,
I can also see past my own disguise.
I can see my face,
And I know my own disgrace.
I can see my hair,
And the scars I can’t bare.
When God looks at me what does He see?
He sees the true me.
He knows my faults and mistakes,
And He sees me when I shake.
He knows my heart inside and out.
He smiles when it is to Him I shout.
He says I am his beautiful daughter,
Because he is my Father.
He recognizes each tear that rolls out of my eyes.
He is the One who taught me how to fly.
How hard it is to see what God sees.
With the ways of the world I don’t see me.
I’m ashamed of how I look and sometimes who I am.
I trust in the world and His light seems to shine dim.
He has carried me through it all,
For He catches me every time I fall.
When I look in the mirror what do I see?
Is it the person God created me to be?

"Is it the person God created me to be?" Sometimes not. We're all not the people God meant us to be. But the mirror, like everything else in this life, has been touched by the Fall. God never sees what we see in the mirror. God sees what He created, what He is working on redeeming, what He will someday welcome home into His arms. Keep trusting Him, He can't fail... none of us are mighty enough to thwart His plans for us, plans for good and not evil. My prayers are with you.
Ah beautiful Angel, I'm glad to know these thoughts. Just keep going down that road, keep looking in that mirror, keep reaching for God's picture of you--you'll see it some day. Perhaps you've seen glimpses already... they may be fleeting now, but keep looking they will last longer.
