Mirrors

Does it reflect a false perception 
Its reflection can be a weapon 
Look closer what do you see? 
To yourself are you being true
The image you see is God’s art work at it’s best
You just don’t understand that you are so blessed
People want to change what reflects their true identity
Now when they do make that change they just created the enemy
To me it is really a pride thing or a jealous alter ego
But ask yourself when you look in the mirror to see who is in control
We human beings are never satisfied 
No matter how much we try
So much for so little
I bet you want mines too even what is in the middle
I call it identity theft
Or larceny of God’s gift
Just look around you everyone seems insecure
To alter your appearance to please others is immature
“Mirror on the wall tell me what you see?”
I see so many people not pleased with God’s temple (the body)
 
1 Corinthian. 6:19-20  "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy 
Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body,"

Sometimes, I think it is hard to look inside oneself, everyday, and to evaluate oneself endlessly. Setting the high standard and working toward perfection...it is a MUST if we are to follow our Savior's request! "Go and sin no more..." Congratulations on your poem being featured this week, Jeffrey. Lovingly, Dane Ann
