Exodus 33:11: So, the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.

As a father and grandfather, my heart yearns to pass something to my children. If I had but one sentence to pass along it would be this: “Seek the face of the Lord”.

Psalms 27:8: When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

We all enjoy the instant messaging, always connected modern world in which we live. This is the world we have created. This is the world we are passing along to our children. But, it comes with one glaring downfall. There is no longer importance and priority placed on face-to-face interaction in our relationships.

We are created in the image of God. As such, in each of our faces there is life. When face-to-face interaction is removed, life is removed.

People are now so connected and yet the crisis of the modern world is a crisis of connectivity. When a person becomes an icon on a device, they become less than human. They become caricatures of their true selves. At best, we do not truly know them, at worse they may become someone we can despise.

The key to the healing of this world is in the restoration of face-to-face relationships. This is true with our relationships with other people and more importantly, it is true with our relationship with God.

2 Corinthians 4:6: For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

We can and must be transformed by seeking the face of the Lord. We can and must have face-to-face interaction with Jesus Christ for the sake of ourselves and the world around us.
