Whenever the heart shall turn to the Lord

Beholding Him with Unveiled Faceand Reflecting His Glory

In 2 Corinthians 3:18 Paul says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. ”

With Unveiled Face

As we behold the Lord day after day in all our situations, we will eventually reflect the Lord’s glory and be transformed into His image from glory to glory. In other words, if we open to Him a little today, then we will see something of Him today. If tomorrow we open to Him further, then tomorrow we will see something more of Him. We are like a mirror with an unveiled face aimed at Him. The more we focus on Him and draw near to Him, the clearer and more glorious our reflection of His glory will be.

An unveiled face is a heart that is turned to the Lord. When our heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Actually, our turned-away heart is the veil. To turn our heart to the Lord is to take away the veil. Our heart is the crucial factor in our enjoyment of the Lord as the life-giving Spirit and in our being transformed into the Lord’s image. If we would enjoy the Lord as the living Spirit and be transformed by Him, we have to deal with our heart. Our heart needs to be turned to the Lord.

Whenever our heart loves the Lord and turns to Him, our heart and our face toward Him are unveiled. We can then behold Him face to face and fellowship with Him every day. The Lord through His Spirit will fill our being—our mind, emotion, and will—with His glory and with Himself as the Spirit. Consequently, whatever we think about, love, or choose will have the Lord’s image because they will all have the Lord’s element.

Praise the Lord that transformation is the pathway to glorification!! Every interaction we have with the Lord will lead us to His glory!! Even in our harshest moments is when we should turn!

O Lord, at times my heart is away from You, the veil lies on my cold heart of stone. I turn my heart back to You, so You can take away the veil. Recover also my heart to love You more, rekindle such a divine love from my heart towards You! And thank You, Lord Spirit, for the freedom I have in You that sets me free from the bondage of the law & religion. I am no longer entangled with the yoke of slavery!

Great song to sing with children. Easily constitutes them (and parents) with the word of God.

Hallelujah we can turn to the Lord ! Hallelujah for the Spirit within. There is nothing so precious on this world than to behold the face of our Lord Jesus.

Now the Lord is that Spirit,
  And where the Spirit of the Lord is,
  There is liberty—such liberty!
Whenever the heart shall turn to the Lord,
  The veil shall be taken away.

WHENEVER. Anytime, anywhere!
