For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:12)

____________________________________________________

We don’t see things clearly yet. We’re seeing things in a fog, peering through the reflection of a looking glass. But eventually we’ll see it all, as clearly as God sees us, and seeing Him face-to-face as he knows us…without our mask…as we are.

When you look at me, who do you see?
Do you see what you want to see? Or do you see the real ME?

I’m not…

…plastic and fake
…living in the confines of a storefront window box you make
…saying what you want me to say
…thinking what you want me to think
…without flaw
…a model doll
…hair of silk all in place
…living in your window box space

I’m ME…

I’m the one walking free, on my sidewalk of life…

…as I was made
…with my imperfections
…with my strengths
…giving
…full of emotion
…real…without pretension
…getting the most out of life
…taking advantage of every moment
…weak, sometimes
…strong, sometimes
…constantly seeking adventure
…feeling pain, and learning from it
…being alone, but being okay with it
…finding companionship…and risking the adventure of it
…full…of…everything…life…has…to…offer
…with eyes wide open…

I want you to see the real ME…the real who I am…as I see ME
