We are evil, O God, and help us to see it and amend....Robert Lewis Stevenson - Vailima Prayers and Sabbath Morn

When we look into the mirror, what do we see?

We are evil, O God, and help us to see it and amend.  We are good, and help us to be better.  Look down upon thy servants with a patient eye, even as Thou sendest sun and rain; look down, call upon the dry bones, quicken, enliven; recreate in us the soul of service, the spirit of peace; renew in us the sense of joy.  Robert Lewis Stevenson - Vailima Prayers and Sabbath Morn

When we look into the mirror, what do we see?  We see with Earthly eyes!  But when we look to the Savior, we see with the eyes of Christ.  Then will we know the true nature of our estate in the flesh.  When we know this we will be able to look through our new estate in union with Christ Jesus!  Then will we experience the "dry bones" being brought back to life.  Then will we experience His Joy!  Then will we be empowered for His service!
