An Impactful Poem

One day I looked at myself, 

At the self that Christ can see; 

I saw the person I am today 

And the one I ought to be. 

I saw how little I really pray, 

How little I really do; 

I saw the influence of my life—

How little of it was true! 

I saw the bundle of faults and fears 

I ought to lay on the shelf; 

I had given a little bit to God, 

But I hadn’t given myself. 

I came from seeing myself, 

With the mind made up to be

The sort of person that Christ can use

With a heart He may always see.
