“… and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
Most mirrors
are all too truthful
revealing every spot,
scar and blemish,
wrinkle and faded hope.
We squint,
cover our eyes
because the truth hurts –
aches our unworthiness.
Wincing, we turn away,
vowing inside
to run and hide
hoping that
the surrounding chaos
will hide us –
make us invisible
from the speculum’s
relentless
and enervating scrutiny.
But then …
“I am” came
and shattered
our refections
and replaced
our haunted image
with his own.
