Radiant Face

Exodus 34:29 "When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord."

Moses has gone up again the second time to Mt. Sinai to receive the law.  Upon returning to the Israelite camp, his face shone radiantly because he had spent time with God.

Does my face shine radiantly?  Do people notice anything different about me because of my faith?  I have asked myself this question many times in my life-even within the past few years on this blog and in my journal.  Unfortunately I think I still have the same answer to this question.  I'm not sure people always see my face shine radiantly.  I truly wish they would and not because I force it or fake it but because it is real and genuine.  And this radiant face is a result of spending time with the Savior.  I will continue to seek God's face and turn to him daily with the hope and expectation that my face will shine brighter and more radiantly day after day.

Dear Jesus, help my face to shine for you and because of you.  Amen.
