Do They See Jesus in Me?

As I was making beds, emptying the dishwasher and doing all those mundane tasks us moms do day-after-day, I was listening to my daughter's mp3 player. A song came on that really spoke to my heart and really just convicted me again...Do the little faces that I spend my days and nights nurturing, do THEY see Jesus in me?

Here are the words...

Is the face that I see in the mirror
the one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that You've given to me
My heart's desire is to be like You
In all that I do, all I am

Do they see Jesus In Me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love, and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus In Me

It's amazing that you'd ever use me
But use me the way You will
Help me to hold out a heart of
compassionate grace
A heart that You're spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way You've shown it to me

Do they see Jesus In Me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love, and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus In Me

Now I want to show all the world who You are
The reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the One that they see
When they see me

Do they see Jesus In Me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love, and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus In Me

My prayer is that in ALL I say and ALL I do, that my precious little ones see Jesus in me.
