Inspirations

When I am lonely and perhaps I feel despair,
Let not my ailing heart forget that YOU hear every prayer...
Remind me that no matter what I do or fail to do,
There still is hope for as long as I have FAITH in YOU...
Let not my eyes be blinded by some folly I commit,
But help me to regret my wrong and make amends for it.
Inspire me to put my fears upon a hidden shelf,
And in the future try not to feel sorry for myself.
Give me the restful sleep I need before another dawn,
And bless me in the morning with THE COURAGE TO GO ON.

Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' Matthew 25:34-40

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? Or just another Christian, who never took a stand?
Does He see a child of God, a child that He set free? Living life to honor Him, or does He just see me?
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 that strength from God, that steadies when I slip?
When folks are in my presence, do they know His Spirit's there? Can they see that He's the one, who guides me everywhere?
When other people think of me, what is on their mind? Do they think of Jesus Christ, so gentle and so kind?
I try to be like Jesus, every single day. Spreading love and kindness, all along my way.
I'm afraid that I have failed, I could not pass the test. Deep inside my heart I know, I haven't done my best.
I have had to fight my flesh, since the day that I was born; it's always causing trouble, and being such a thorn.
That's why His Spirit dwells in me, He's helping me to learn; in every situation, where I need to turn.
He knew I'd never pass the test, that's why He took my place; He gave His life to save my soul, He suffered my disgrace.
Now I try to be like Him, I must present Him well; so other folks will want His gift, and turn their backs on hell.
Other folks should see the joy, that Christ has given me. They should want to have it too, especially since it's free.
They should begin to ask me, what is it they must do. Just how it is they go about, getting Jesus, too.
Then I get to tell them, this wondrous gift is free. It only takes a humble heart, a prayer on bended knee.
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.
