Beloved, just as flowers flourish in the light of the sun, you were created to blossom in the light of My countenance. When My face is turned towards you, My blessing, favor, and honor abound towards you. Indeed, I designed your very being to respond to and flourish in My Presence. Just as creation responded to My voice in the beginning, so the potential I’ve placed within you naturally springs forth in response to My Light.
Therefore, hear Me beckon, beloved. Draw near, and turn your face towards Me. Resist the urge to hide your face out shame or fear, for My mercy has paved the way for you to enter My Presence. When you position yourself to have a face-to-face relationship with Me, it is life-changing and live-giving. Yes, this level of intimacy can feel intense. You may feel vulnerable and exposed at times. Yet remember—the safest place you can be is close to Me.
Therefore, beloved, boldly enter into My Presence. Come and soak up the life and blessing I so long to lavish you with. As you bask in the light of My eternal love, surely you will be transformed from glory to glory.
Deuteronomy 5:4 (NLT) At the mountain the LORD spoke to you face to face from the heart of the fire.
Numbers 6:24-26 (VOICE) The Eternal One bless and keep you. May He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Eternal lift up His countenance to look upon you and give you peace.
