Reflections

Reflection

If I change the way I look at things

The things I look at change

I think that’s why the Bible seems

So changeable and strange

His word is like a magic mirror

Reflecting each mans heart

What I see in what I read

Depends on where I start

What I see depends in part

On what I think I know

Do I trust in my own thoughts

Or do I want to grow

I listen to the word of God

And hear what it should say

Conform it to my paradigms

And justify my way

And thinking I have seen the truth

I just see my reflection

A god who looks a lot like me

A god of self deception.
