The Mirror of God

I looked in God’s mirror and saw my reflection.
The image repulsed me, warranting my rejection.
So warped and distorted was my anguished face.
A reflection of fear, rage, shame, and disgrace.

“Child, look inside. Tell me, what do you see?”
With horror and trembling, I cried, “That cannot be me!”
My eyes were hollow, disconnected from life.
They were tunnels to Hell, where torment was rife.

“Cover Your mirror, Lord. Please, take it far away.
That monster inside… I don’t want to portray.”
“Is this who you are? Is this why my Son died?”
God’s voice boomed HOLY and on my face I cried.


“No! I beg you! Change me. Cleanse me from deep within.
Take away the fear, the shamefulness, the sin!
That reflection is not who I am anymore!”
With that, the mirror crashed to the floor.

“Pick it up, Child, and see what I’ve done!
Look in My mirror at the reflection of my Son!”
The cracks in the glass took the shape of a cross.
Gone was that putrid reflection, my Albatross.

Despite the broken pieces, I saw so clearly
A beautiful reflection of one He loves dearly.
Gone is the dead and present is the redeemed.
The person God intended, that Satan demeaned.

My eyes are ablaze with passion filled fire
And I’ve shed the old clothes, putting on His attire.
I know the plot of the enemy and must stay awake
and daily look in God’s mirror for much is at stake.

Have you taken a look lately into the mirror of the Lord?
It’s His Bible, His commands, His Holy written sword.
He commands you to come and take a hard look
Whose image do you reflect in the pages of His Book?
