If God Had a Face… (55 sec.)

Posted on March 25, 2013 Written by Bill Tell Leave a Comment

One of my favorite authors is Brennan Manning. One of the questions he asks is this, “If God had a face, what kind of face would He make at you right now?”

Would it be unemotional?  Stern?  Sad?  Frustrated?  Wondering?  Disappointed?  Impatient?  Based on our last two discussions about reconciliation and being bound back together with our best friend – there is only one answer.  He sees you and has a grin from ear to ear!  He is ecstatic about you.

If God had something to say to you today–what might you imagine that to be?  “You need to work a little harder?”  “When are you going to get with it?”  “We need to have a talk?”  Will you hear some nagging feedback?  I don’t think so. God does have something to say to you and me today, and this is what I hear; “Do you know what a joy and delight it is for me to live in you?  Do you know I have loved you from before you were created? I have always loved you and always will.  No matter what. Its a done deal.  Forever.”
