A Look At Myself

One day I looked at myself
The self that Christ can see;
I saw the person I am today,
And the one I ought to be.

I saw how little I really pray
How little I really do;
I saw the influence of my life,
How little of it was true!

I saw the bundle of faults and fears
I ought to lay on the shelf;
I had given a little bit to God
But I hadn’t given myself.

I came from seeing myself,
With my mind made up to be
The sort of person that Christ can use,
With a heart He can always see.

Brethren and friends, let us remember that God always uses the man or woman “nearest” Him (Matthew 7:21; John 15:14-17; cf; Romans 16:1-16).
