Mirrored Self Image

James 1:23 - 25

Anyone who hears the Word but does nil,
Truly has no desire to perform God's will;
His only concern is the one in the mirror,
To the beholder there is no one nearer;
He looks into the law but then he forgets,
Not realizing for in the future he regrets;
For the doer a man that will be blessed,
Obedience to God performing his quest;
People tend to look out for one person,
A self image in the mirror the only one;
They could care less tending to be rude,
It does not matter to them on being lewd;
Even hearing God's Word does not phase,
Tendency to forget within a couple days;
Their laziness showing of no motivation,
For doing God's will lacking salvation;
Their lack of faith today lasts an eternity,
If not trying to rid their life of impurity;
Motivate them to show their importance,
God will help them live life in abundance.
