Unveiled Faces

2 CORINTHIANS 3:17-18 (read all of chapter 3 to understand the full context)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Whenever Moses met with God he would put a veil over his face when talking with the Israelites so as not to show the radiance of God that was shining brightly on his face. That was under the old covenant.(Exodus 34:29-35)

The veil remains under the old covenant. Under the new covenant with Christ we are to allow the radiance of God to shine for others to see. Christ removes the veil when we choose to follow Him. And when He does, others around us notice the "glow".

Have you ever noticed a pregnant woman's "glow"? Her face changes into a radiant shine that many notice. Many times, before her stomach begins showing signs of pregnancy, people notice the "glow" and assume that she is pregnant.

We need to have that same "glow" that radiates the glory of God in our lives. And as we become more and more like Him that glow should become brighter and brighter. People should be able to notice that "glow" before they even meet us.

Are you radiating the glory of God today? If not spend some time before God and allow Him to replenish that "glow". Let Him fill you with His Spirit to overflowing, spilling over onto others. God bless~
