| REFLECTING HIS IMAGE I want my life to be a true reflection of my Lord, And pray that I will never bring dishonor to His Name. For those who do not know my precious Lord are judging me, To look for any inconsistencies in what I claim. And they examine all I do, and every word I speak, To see if knowing Christ has brought a change that they can see. But if I fail to live the way they think a Christian should, I pray they won't reject salvation's gift because of me. Please help me, Lord, to never lose my hunger for Your Word, And keep me always focused on the One Whose Name I bear; So when at last I meet my Savior when earth's work is done, I'll find my life has challenged others who will meet me there. � by Betty Jo Mings http://www.bettyjomings.truepath.com Betty Jo lives in Garden Grove, California, with Rowland, her husband of over 50 years.
