In the Mirror of Life

In the mirror of life, God shows* us His perfect will Teaching us to trust Him while staying serene So that His plan we can perform with zest By His instruction, making us triumphant. In the mirror of life, the Saviour radiates His compassion Reminding us to depend on His generous abundance So that His grace we can gratefully acknowledge By His mercies ready to meet our needs. In the mirror of life, the Creator exposes His kindness Guiding us to rely on His great supreme sovereignty So that His direction we can courageously follow By His leadership, propelling us to prosper. In the mirror of life, the Lord illumines through His functional wisdom Instructing us to enjoy His granted blessed salvation-liberty So that His advice we can apply with circumspection By His counsel for love-driven service. In the mirror of life, Jesus Christ reveals His nature thru the holy Word Bracing us to live by faith, forgiving our confessed sins So that His truth we can declare against deceit By His precepts, upholding righteous stand. In the mirror of life, the Almighty reflects His fellowship glow Calling us to worship with honesty, honour and humility So that His light we can manifest in our stewardship By His partnership toward sharing-caring bliss.
Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. May 8, 2022 1st place, "In the Mirror of Life" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Anoucheka Gangabissoon; judged on 5/13/2022.
