Words are an understood form of communication. Written words, spoken words, pictures in words, songs are words, words are everywhere. Because we are so inundated with words, we use words as our main form of communication. We type words, we speak words, we hand write words, we pray in words, oh the power of words. I personally love words. However, I am learning there is a language that speaks louder than words and it is our face.

Proverbs 27:19 says “As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reveals the man.” As people we reveal what is in our heart by what is on our face. Sadness is seen on the face; bitterness is seen on the face; disappointment is seen on the face; joy is seen on the face; peace is seen on the face; anger is seen on the face. I have been realizing money cannot hide what the face says; makeup cannot cover up what the face says; a mask cannot conceal what the face says.

I was at a Pumpkin Festival yesterday and there was a man in a Batman costume, he looked so amazing from a distance, but the closer I got to his face, the more I saw the wear and tear of life on his face, just from the nose down. It was amazing to me as the Lord has been having me look at people’s faces. We love Facebook, we love selfies, we love showing our face, or others don’t like showing their face at least not on social media. However, the point is our face is communicating how we are doing on a heart level.

Next time you look in the mirror, look at your face and listen to what it is saying, for you face can tell you what is going on with your heart that you may not be able to hear. If you don’t like what you see on your face, cry out for the Lord to create in you a clean heart and to renew a right spirit within you. For the Lord loves to communicate through words, this is why we have a Bible, but He also communicates through the face, that is why He says, seek my face!!!! This is why I look at your face when I speak to you, I want to see your heart and I want you to see mine. It’s called face to face communication.
