You are so right about the self inside that is looking for a way to get out. There is something about writing something like this (a poem) that I find very difficult and yet very satisfying. I am impressed that write poetry as often as you do. Thanks so much. L.L., thank you for your encouragement. You are so right about the self inside that is looking for a way to get out.

How blessed you are to have friends likfe this who mirror back to you how God has been at work. This is a powerful testimony to the importance of these kinds of redemptive friendships.

I like the way you phrased your second sentence. "It is a great reminder to see Jesus in the mirror when I look at myself." Very good! It does seem like our self-image would be very different if we had a sense that he is in the mirror and that he really does cherish each one of us. Cara, thank you for the kind words.

God's Word is a mirror in which we see our need of Him to fix what is broken. I've also been blessed to have friends mirror back to me how God is at work, revealing Himself more and more, and I hadn't noticed it! Keep up the good work! I really like this poem!

There is a self inside us, knocking up and down the walls, looking for a way through the cracks. Jesus opens the door, or sometimes pulls us bit by bit through one of those small spaces. Yay! Poetry! Please keep writing. :) I love that part about the you you really are. There is a self inside us, knocking up and down the walls, looking for a way through the cracks.
