"Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him." 2 Corinthians 3:16-18
I love this verse! It brings me a lot of hope! :) God is the one who removes the veil from unbelievers faces, and when He removes it they finally recognize that He is living and real!
I also love that it says there is nothing between us and God, and that our faces shine with the brightness of His face! Oh how I want my face to be radiant because of God working in my heart and life! And how encouraging is it to know that as we allow God to enter into our lives we become more like Him and we become evermore beautiful and bright!!
Lord shine brightly in me! Lord, help me to open up to you and allow you to enter into my life so that I can shine for you!!
