Mirror
It has been a year already when I became a Christian
and a lot had already happened to me then.
God found me, but then I strayed away again;
life without Him was hell, so I searched for Him once more.
I came to Him in sorrow, but He embraced me w/ a smile.
I realized that eventhough I was unfaithful
he remained faithful;
that eventhough I left Him,
He patiently waited for me to come return.
How amazing is His love!!!
He never did leave me nor forsake me.
after a few weeks of reconciling with God
I found myself a friend, or so I thought.
she isn't a christian but still i became close to her.
i even brought her to church because we got so used to
having each other around wherever we go.
i really thought i was so blessed for her life,
because she made us see that she was changing
and had become a Christian.
to make the long story short.
our friendship was based on lies.
she wasn't a christian at all,
she cheated to all of us in chursh and in school
and now i never saw her again.
but as i look back years ago,
i realized that i was somehow like her;
lost, pretending, and unsaved.
that's why instead of being bitter to her,
I pray for her.
i know what it feels like not having God in your life.
but now, everything had changed
i am no longer lost
i'm no longer pretending to be fine,
i'm saved by God's grace
one time as i was looking at myself in the mirror,
i asked myself,
"Is that really you I am seeing?"
my reflection and myself might be the same.
i still do look the way I am before and after i was saved,
but there's one thing that did completely changed,
my heart.
the heart that once beat for the world,
now beats for God!
the once hurting and empty heart
is now joyful and filled with God!
