By Jennifer R.This is just a brief reminder to all of us (myself included!) not to judge a book by its cover, so to speak. You never know what kind of day, week, or life someone has had before they crossed your path.
Behind the Faces
In your face I may see
A smile that’s carefree,
But behind your face may be
Struggles I can’t see.
In your face I may see
A happiness that’s glowing,
But behind your face may be
A pain you aren’t showing.
In your face I may see
A life of ease and blessing,
But behind your face may be
A history of trials and suffering.
In your face I may see
A dear sister or brother, always focused on things above,
But behind your face may be
A heavy heart, burdened for someone you love.
God, help me not to only see
The face that’s right in front of me.
Give me compassion, love, and grace
To minister to the soul behind every face.
