2 Corinthians 3:18

 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the spirit.

 

-2 Corinthians 3:18

 

Several weeks ago we read 2 Corinthians 3:18 for devotions. We, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory,

I love that part! I think of it as an encouragement that we can reflect the Lord without being scared, without hiding, without being veiled.

 

Mom actually shared that this verse talks about Moses. He had to cover his face after talking with God, so the people wouldn't be scared, because Moses's face was so radiant from being with God. And also because the glory was fading and he didn't want the people to know. But we are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the spirit. So that we don't have to have veiled faces.

And for me, it's so encouraging to know that I am being transformed into His likeness, and becoming more like him, as I pray, and spend time with him.
