I look in the mirror

Say something’s not right

I could be thinner

These pants are too tight

There’s a blemish

And right on my face

My hair is a mess

It’s all over the place

Am I too tall

Am I too round

Always an imperfection

To be found

This world will judge us

Though we do too

We’re hard on ourselves

This is true

So many expectations

We put in place

Forgetting we’re made in His image

And we should give Him praise

For we are made

And we are designed

Just the way

God had in mind

I remember this and so I look in the mirror

And what do I see

But God’s child

staring back at me

In the mirror I am reminded

Though I often forget to see

That we are all created

So beautifully

Beautifully created

Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Genesis 5:1 NIV

This is the written account of Adam’s family line.When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.

1 John 3:1 NIV

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
