A vibrant, shining face is the mark of one who has stood in God\u2019s presence. After speaking to God, Moses had to cover his face with a veil. But not only does God change the face of those who worship; he changes those who watch us worship.<\/p>\n

Paul told the Corinthian church to worship in such a way that if an unbeliever entered, \u201che would find\u2026the secrets of his heart revealed; and\u2026would fall down on his face and worship God\u2026\u201d (1 Corinthians 14:25 NKJV)<\/p>\n

Seekers may not understand all that happens in a house of worship. They may not understand the meaning of a song or the significance of communion. But they know joy when they see it. \u00a0And when they see your face changed, they may want to see God\u2019s face. People, including your family, are watching. Believe me. They are watching.<\/p>\n
