God is in the business of changing the face of the world.
Let me be very clear. This change is in His job, not ours. Our goal is not to make our faces radiant. Not even Jesus did that. Matthew says "Jesus appearance was changed" not "Jesus changed His appearance. Moses didn't even know His face was shining. (Exod.34:29) Our goal is not to conjure up some fake, frozen expressions. Our goal is simply to stand before with God - with a prepared and willing heart and then let God do His work.
And He does. He wipes the tears. He mops away the perspiration. He softens our furrowed brows. He touches our cheeks. He changes our faces as we worship. He is an awesome God!
