REMIND ME AGAIN WHY I'M HERE!

JAMES 1:22-25(AMPLIFIED)
22But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
23For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror;
24For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like.
25But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).

i walk by glass and mirrors all day. on my way to work and going home, i see myself at every corner as i slowly make my way through the crowds or tread heavily throught the snow, i see me. its not like i forget how i look or what i have on but for some reason i always find myself looking at myself, like i forgot who i am. maybe its just my vanity or my lack of a better idea to fill my daily stroll that instead of keeping my eyes on the path i walk on, i'd rather consume myself with mindless observation of what i have on. maybe this could be a good thing for me, to sort of constantly remind myself who i am. like mirrors, the bible is like a good reminder of who we are and who we serve...remind us of why we are here and why we are freed and saved...its always good to be reminded especially these days, it very easy to lose ourselves or to forget who we are...whether its busy doing other things or just generally living life...its not that i get distracted but it's very easy for me to lose focus...work takes up a lot of my time, as i was having a conversation with a friend is that work can be good but can also be a distraction, making us lose focus on the things that we were meant to be or become...i'm not saying work is not good but i find myself asking questions whether is this for me or is there something out there that i need busy myself with...hmmm just a thought i guess

mirror

million times i look and see
how dollars can make beauty out of ugly
covering the deep
plastering the blemish on our skin
a thousand eyes can see what you become
but deep inside the pain still runs

the flow part 1

when will we realize
that words we say could never divide
add or multiply unless
our hands have made the words into life

our thoughts can't save one from hell
or the screaming of our hearts can't save one's pain
let good transcend us into a plane
where we will see others and never be the same
