The Lord pulled me out of a terrible pit when I was 26 years old. I fell at an apostolic alter and received the holy ghost. My life has never been the same since I took on the name of Jesus in the waters of baptism. I came from a horrible background of abuse and never thought I would find true peace. I will love Him until the end of time. When I think of all the people in the world and know that Christ picked me I am overwhelmed by His mercy and love. I can never repay what He did for me.

The word of God is a mirror. It will tell us who we are if we let it. Just like the woman at the well, the Lord can only help us if we are truthful. I believe when we show God who we really are then He can show Himself to us. Thank God, He didn't leave us the way that He found us.

The Reflection

When I look into the mirror,
The fear begins to rise.
For on my face, I see the trace;
The mirror never lies.

And the memories seem to haunt me,
It's hard to face the truth.
While the task to wear another mask;
Has been there since my youth.

And as I gazed into the looking glass,
I saw the devastation.
It seems unfair, so much despair;
Has me bound in desolation.

So I turned my heart and soul to God,
He saw through the masquerade.
I no longer hide, who I am inside;
He has ended that charade.

I have put on holiness and truth,
Love and consecration.
The peace I feel, I can't conceal;
I'm full of dedication.

I pray when someone looks at me,
Even though I lack.
That what they see, inside of me;
Is Christ reflecting back.
