The unveiled face of worship

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

When Moses came out of God's presence his face shone so much that the people around him asked him to put a veil over His face. They were afraid to even look at the reflection on his face of what He had seen in the Holy place with God. But when Moses went back into God's presence to worship and spend time with God, he took the veil off, so he could see God clearly and so God could see him. When we go into our secret place of worship with Jesus, whether we are alone or whether we are in the middle of a crowd, we also need to do what Moses did. Because we are afraid of what he will see sometimes what we put the veil on in God's presence (but He sees it all anyway!) Or, maybe we are afraid of what we will see when we look directly into the heart of Jesus. But we do not need to be afraid. We do not need to let our heart trick us into missing the deepest blessings which God has kept for us. In His secret place, where He is waiting is an intimacy of fellowship with Him without fear or pretense. It is in the throne room of our Father, where all our veils are to be put aside. There we can look into His face and he will change our hearts, our thoughts, and our souls to be more and more like His.
