When Jesus Looks

This poem was read tonight at our VLB Service and it was such a blessing to me. It spoke to my heart and made me desire a deeper walk with the Lord. Holly Talley is our VLB leader and she does such an awesome job with her services. She talked tonight about "the apple of His eye" and brought out that if you look deep into someones eyes you can actually see your own reflection, except when there's not enough light and there are shadows. When there are shadows in our spiritual life the Lord is unable to see His own reflection when He looks into our eyes. It was a very stirring analogy.

When Jesus looks upon my life
What picture does He see?
Does He see His own reflection,
Or does He just see me?

Does He see His likeness,
The product of His hand;
And does He see a Christian
Willing to take a stand?

What about the other folks
I meet along the way;
Do I show them Jesus,
To brighten up their day?

When someone looks into my eyes
Can they truly see
That calm and gentle peace of God
That dwells inside of me?

When I reach out and shake a hand
Is He right there in my grip?
Can they feel the strength from God
That steadies if we slip?

When folks are in my presence,
Do they know His Spirit's there?
Can they see that He's the One
Who leads me everywhere?

When other people think of me,
What is on their mind?
Do they think of Jesus Christ
So gentle and kind?

I try to be like Jesus
Every single day;
Spreading love and kindness
All along my way.

And someday when I'm face to face
With the Lord who set me free,
Will He see His own reflection,
Or will He just see me?
