The human face is a wonder of God’s creation. Although we are all the same species, each face is unique. To me, not only does this speak of God’s unlimited creativity, but also of how special each of us is to Him. He also created our faces to express what we are feeling in our souls. And they are so important in sharing our hearts with one another. Faces are spoken of so many times in Scripture, and often in terms of our relationship with God. Our faces should be turned to God in trust, love, and hopeful expectation.
Some things we take for granted because we haven't looked at them hard enough. So, I began staring harder, at human faces, now covered with masks. I don't mean at individual faces, but at the idea and purpose of them. God's idea and purpose. Then I asked myself, "What does it mean to have them covered?"
While I have my views on it, I am not going to comment on how well masks are (or are not) protecting anyone. I usually wear it when I go out anywhere, but make no judgment on anyone who doesn’t in these confusing times. So, I will leave it at that.
