God's Stare

His piercing stare
     strips the pretense 
       from my soul

     Held up to His mirror
       my eyes cede control

We should remember that God sees all and knows our every move, and then live our lives accordingly. A great reminder, Gershon. John

You are right, John. We should remember that God sees, hears and knows all. But how often we -- I -- forget. Thanks for the reminder. :) gw

I feel that only when one speaks the truth will the spirit then be enabled to eternally gaze into the mirror...ab

God's piercing eyes will penetrate through our entire being ! We cannot hide anything from him ! We cannot make any pretense .....
