Who're You Looking At?
There's a verse that I love in Psalms 34 it says "Those who look to Him are radiant, there faces are never covered with shame."
Do you remember the story of Moses coming down the mountainside from meeting with God and the people noticed something very strange: His face was glowing! He had been spending time with God and there was something about being in God's presence where it took a long time for that reflection to wear off.
I remember the second time I met Nancy, my wife, her face seemed to be radiating light. Maybe it was just an angel shining a flashlight on her saying "This is the one." But she had been spending time with God, praising Him, talking to Him, enjoying Him. So when I saw Her I could still see His reflection on her face. It was quite an experience. But it wasn't just me being love-struck, my two buddies saw it too. They looked dumb-founded.
Jesus talked about how when your eyes are full of light your whole body is full of light and when your eyes are full of darkness your whole body will be full of darkness.
If you always focus on negative things - that is darkness. If you're always happy and thankful its probably because you're focusing on the positive things in life.
The interesting thing is your face reflects what you look at. I think this is one of the reasons my daughter Sarah is a great photographer, because she's happy! Her happiness seems to reflect on the people's faces. They respond emotionally to her.
So, my friend, look up! Be thankful! Find the good and look at that. Ladies this will do more than any makeup could ever do. And if you really want your face to be bright look at my Friend, Jesus. Then you'll be eternally bright.
Love ya
