Ever Wondered What God’s Face Looks Like?

Posted by loswhit in Deep Stuff

Sometimes we have no idea.
We follow the direction the Lord sets us on and run.
We run hard.
We run.
We have no idea whether or not we are even close to victory.
But the image above tells us so much about our walk with the Lord.
It is an image of guide Guilherme Soares de Santana reacting to blind Paralympian Terezinha Guilhermina of Brazil winning gold before she knows she’s won the Women’s 100m T11 Final.

The Olympian has no idea she is about to win.
The Olympian is only doing what her guide is telling her to do.
Follow her lead and run hard.

The look on the Lords face if you have followed His lead well and are running hard is probably exactly this.
He is overjoyed with the victory that is coming your way.
We are blind to so much of His plan.
But He promises us victory if we just trust Him and run hard.

He is overjoyed Ragamuffins.
Run Hard.
Run Hard.

His look is that of a baby, when my grand-daughter smiles it is with her mouth wide open. PURE JOY. God.

Thank you for this… My son is actually a guide runner and a caller for two US Paralympians and ran there in London this year. I have been blessed to spend time with some of these amazing athletes. They have so inspired me. They run while completely trusting their guide, they run down the runway in the jumps…trusting only the voice of the guide and then they leap into the air landing is sand. We can learn so much from their example.

Ok I hate crying in the office…I’m not much of a crier to begin with unless I’m watching 7th Heaven or Walker Texas Ranger. But man that ministered to me today. THANK YOU!

Such an amazing, touching, and true analogy. One of the best things I’ve read all year!

Do you think god had that look when Samuel also said unto Saul … Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass Yeah I think he did.
