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 MSG)
Everything that once bound us is obsolete because of Jesus. I'm free from anything and everything that hinders in JESUS' Name...seriously, guys, what a beautiful picture. "Our faces SHINING with the brightness of HIS FACE"!!! Oh how I desire for that to be true of me! What an incredible thing to be described as looking like...
May I get lost in Who You are, Jesus, not in what's trying so hard to deter. You are so beautiful and so, so good. You will NEVER relent!
