In the Mirror of Goodness #2237

In the Mirror of Goodness "Why do you call Me good?" The question pierced the air, No one is good, except God alone, A truth profound and rare. We dress in robes of virtue, To the world, a noble guise, Yet within, a silent whisper, The conscience never lies. You can fool the whole world, With deeds and words well-spun, But the heart, it knows the shadows, In the light of God's own Son. For the conscience is God-given, A spark of truth and flame, It calls us to repentance, To cleanse our hidden shame. This God, the source of life, In spirit and in truth, Beckons us to honesty, To seek a pure reproof. Let's all repent together, In the mirror of God's grace, To not deceive each other, But seek His holy face. For in this path of truth, Our hearts find true release, And in the light of God's goodness, We discover lasting peace. -Steven G. Lee (July 6, 2024)
