MIRROR MIRROR

Snippet

Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be accepted.  Belonging on the other hand, doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.  Brene Brown Gifts of Imperfection preface Hazelden 2010 PG 25

Scripture

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. 1 Corinthians 15:10

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?

'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am

I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect

So sorry you won't define me

Sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me

That I'm less than what I should be?

Who are you? Who are you?

I don't need to listen

To the list of things I should do

I won't try, I won't try

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection

I'm looking into the eyes

of He who made me

And to Him I have beauty beyond compare

I know He defines me (Yeah)

Who are you tell me

that I'm less than what I should be

Who are you?

Who are you? (Yeah)

I don't need to listen

To the list of things I should do

I won't try, no, I won't try

You don't define me (You don't define me) [x4]

Who are you to tell me

That I'm less than what I should be

Who are you?

Who are you?

Yeah!

I don't need to listen

To the list of things I should do

I won't try, no, I won't try

Yeah

Who are you to tell me

That I'm less than what I should be

Who are you?

Who are you?

Yeah

I don't need to listen

To the list of things I should do

I won't try, no, I won't try

Sentence Prayer

O Lord Jesus, I come to you feeling useless and hopeless. What I am doing to my body by 

not eating as I should is sinful and even deadly. Still, I struggle to stop my destructive behavior.  Lord, Christ, you know the depths of our temptations, and you have resisted the worst kind. Be with me now and give me the power of your Spirit to overcome. I place myself into your hands for forgiveness and strength. Amen.
