Thank you for the Scripture. This part of the Scripture you wrote to me is very, very and exceedingly special to me, as The LORD gave me a vision of Jesus face with the glory of God shining forth from it.
Many years ago I was cleaning house for a young Muslim man whom I had some very good conversations about the Gospel with. I had purchased a paperback book about the shroud of Turin and after reading it gave it to him. I was changing the linen on his bed and the book was laying on the covers. I paused, picked it up and opened it to a picture of of the face of Jesus on the shroud. The picture isn't real clear, as you probably know, and as I gazed upon it, I said to The LORD in my heart that I wished I could see what Jesus actually looked like. Suddenly I was transported into a different state and saw the beautiful face of Jesus Christ shining with the glory of God. The light that I saw streaming out of His face wasn't merely light as we know it, but had a tangible quality. That light was pure love. I shall never, of course forget the day that The LORD allowed a simple house cleaner to see Jesus face with the glory of God radiating out from it. It wasn't until sometime later, upon reading The Bible, that I discovered the verse you wrote to me about the knowledge of Gods glory displayed in the face of Christ. I knew that this was exactly what God had allowed me to see, when in my heart I longed to see what Jesus really looked like.
I've had more than a few remarkable experiences over my lifetime. One that came to mind after reading yours was the day I was driving into work. It was early and was a 38 mile commute on an open expressway. I was listening to Christian music and singing along with the song full voice. I was just so filled with love for the Lord, praising him and thanking him for all that he has blessed me with and telling him how much I loved him. While I was praising him, I looked up into the clear blue sky and with NO other clouds in the sky, I saw a perfectly heart-shaped cloud! I got chills because I sensed that it was a way that God was saying back to me that he loved me, too. I'll never forget it. I feel sorry for people that have never felt the presence of the Lord or understood how much he loves us. What a dreary, depressing way to live especially when there IS another way.
Hope you have a blessed night and a Happy Thanksgiving!
