Our face reflects our personality, and therefore it is the most expressive, the most cherished part of our being!

Yes, that sweet smile of a mother, that saintly look of a godly father-- how we long to see those expressions again on the faces of loved ones who have gone to heaven before us. There will be exhilaration and blessing when the veil of separation is lifted. Heartfelt longings will at last become reality when we are face to face with those we love.

So too, one of the crowning joys of heaven will be to look on the wonderful face of our Lord and Savior--the face that was bathed in tears of sympathy for a sick and dying race. The face that was full of compassion for a lost world. The face that bore the shame that our face might wear the glory of God. The face that grimaced in agony on Calvary for our sins that we might see the smile of God's eternal forgiveness.

O Christian, let us live in keen anticipation of that day when faith shall be turned into sight! With eyes bright with hope and expectation, let us sing the refrain: "When by His grace I shall look on His face, that will be glory, be glory for me!"  — Henry G. Bosch
