The Face of God in Scripture

Something within us is longing for something beyond us. The purpose of Advent, is to help us get in touch with that longing—an opportunity to reflect and wait on the One who is the face of God. Glory became one of us so that we might become like him. 

Reflection:

• Where are you still hiding from God?
• Where are you waiting to see God’s face?
• Where are you longing in this Advent season?
• Where is God coming into your life to reveal to you his glory?
