Faces

Faces fascinate me!

There is an advert on television where a young woman meets her boyfriend off the train. She runs to a man, hugs and kisses him only to find she has got the wrong man. She has gone to the wrong opticians, according to the advert.

I have often gone to an airport or train station to meet someone I know, and I am always amazed that, even in a huge crowd of people, I recognise the person I am meeting straight away.

We all have one pair of eyes, one nose and one mouth, yet we are all different. God made each one of us unique. Recently I met an old friend I had not seen for some years. She used to be much taller than I am, but now she is shorter and her body is crippled. But her face is still recognisable. God made each one of us beautiful in our own special and individual way. The face we see in the mirror is not the same as others see, because it is in reverse, but we are being made into God’s likeness, and he loves us as we are.

One day we shall recognise Jesus. What glory that will be!

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for family and friends who are special to me. Thank you for making me ME! Amen
