He came into the kitchen one Saturday afternoon and asked 'what does Jesus look like?' He ran to get his bible as I went to get mine.
In Psalm 11 David ends with the phrase 'the upright will see His face.' In the Old Testament to see God's face meant death. But David seems to desire it.
David's faith has scope, it has imagination. He dreams of the seemingly impossible, of truths not yet fully revealed. He knows that there is depth and richness in the love of our God that we can only begin to explore.. He longs to be face to face with the God he loves.
I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when Harry arrived in the kitchen that Saturday with his question. He came back with his children's bible open at an illustration and said' 'is it like this?' We compared the description of Jesus in Revelation to the drawing in the book and talked about it for a few minutes.
The tagline of Ann Voskamp's blog is 'there are burning bushes everywhere.' You know the burning bush right? God's presence, holy ground. I felt that holy presence in my kitchen that day, as Harry and I searched for our God's face and longed for him together.
