There are certain things that need to be done face to face such as breaking up with a girlfriend, settling an argument, interviewing an prospective employee, and getting to know someone. By the same token, to have a thriving, deep relationship with God, we need to have a face to face encounter with Him.
What scares us from having a face to face with God? Probably that when we get so close to Him, we can not fake anything. Nothing is hidden. We are vulnerable. He can see our flaws. Our true selves. By keeping God at arms length, we hurt ourselves.
Is it time to bring God close? To be eye ball to eye ball with Him. To be face to face with God. To let Him see our imperfections and our deep wounds.
When we drop the facade, when we allow God to get close, we will enjoy the benefits that come with a face to face relationship with God. He will help us through our hurts, heal us from our past and guide us into a victorious future. Get close to God. Get in His face. And then we will start mirroring Him.
