As we prepare our hearts and minds for this special season of hope, joy and love...we mourn the death of our Savior, all the while preparing our hearts to celebrate His victory over death in His glorious resurrection. This Friday, at our Good Friday service, I hope to bless the people of my church with the drama presentation of WATCH THE LAMB. I covet your prayers as I prepare to share this poignant message of the death of Jesus Christ for every man, woman, boy or girl that has ever lived....every sin wiped away by the shed blood of Jesus...the work has been done, all that is left for you to do is accept the FREE GIFT OF GOD. It is my prayer that someone comes to know the joy of Easter in a way they have never experienced....
As a CHILD OF GOD...FORGIVEN AND SET FREE!!!
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!
WHEN I LOOK INTO
THE MIRROR...
When I look into
the mirror, what is it there I see?
Is it the man I
think I am that's looking back at me?
Or is it a
mirage of days gone by; my imagination
running wild;
That makes me
think I'm staring into the face of a happy child....
A child once
filled with wonder and dreams beyond compare
That keeps me
staring so intently at the face that's captured there.
Or is it a young
teenager with pimples upon my face
That kept me
locked in solitude as I struggled to find my place.
A place filled
with many friendship and smiling faces everywhere;
Loving friends
to lend a hand when life had filled me with despair?
A place of hope
and encouragement from those who took the time,
To pick me up
when I had fallen or was down to my last dime?
The face that
stares back at me; now etched with lines
and creases;
Is this the face
that I have come to love.... a face that never ceases?
To try and find
the good in others when it seems that all is loss....
It is then that I remember what God accomplished upon that cross.
Oh, the cruel
cross of Calvary where Jesus took my place
So that when I look
into the mirror, should I not see His face?
A face so filled
with love for me, His death would pay my debt;
And as I live each
day for Him, I pray 'tis a debt I won't forget.
So may I always
be a beacon of His love that lives inside;
May the peace that
I've been given be a joy I cannot hide;
May I look into
life's mirror and each day be blessed to see...
It is the Lord,
My Savior....always looking back at me!!!!!
