Seeing Jesus

When the people I meet encounter me

When my family looks at me what do they see?

When I respond to my enemies

Are they seeing Jesus?

When I react to tests and to trials

When by men I have been reviled

Do I show grace or act like a child?

Are they seeing Jesus?

With Jesus indwelling I can do all things

Every threat I can overcome

Will I obey or go my own way OR will I obey

Until the victory is won?

If Jesus is is living in me I'm reborn

To His image I'm to be conformed

If I truly know him

Then I will show him

In fair weather or in storms

Is Jesus revealed as I am viewed

In my actions and attitudes

What will the evidence conclude

Are you seeing Jesus?

Do I work out what He works in

Will I overcome temptations and sin

Will I look like my Savior or stay as I've been?

Till you are seeing Jesus...
