Reflection

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
All His wonderful passion and purity
O, Thou Spirit Divine, all my nature refine
Till the beauty of Jesus me seen in me.
 Tom Jones and Richard Hainsworth

Would that the oft troubled 
Surface of my life
Reflected Jesus
As the surface of the lake 
Reflects the sky
Its brightness, its light, its beauty;
Not only on calm and quiet days—
But mid-crisis, post-crisis
When storms have dropped debris, 
When pieces float and drift and obscure
The view. I pray, I hope, my heart 
Still shines with Him.
