Face To Face

In Exodus 33:11 (TNIV) it says, "The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."

Wow! That is a powerful message packed in to just a few words. God spoke to Moses. Face to face. As one speaks to a friend. It is impossible to have a bigger or better or more satisfying relationship than one which is a friendship with God.

And the good news is that it can happen to you. Moses was a human being, just like you and me. And he was a very imperfect person. He had a temper. He murdered an Egyptian. He and the Israelites frequently complained about the way God seemed to be treating them, and the direction in which they were headed.

But God loved Moses anyway, despite all his faults, and God had a very close relationship with him, despite all his sins and errors and mistakes.

It's the same for us. God wants to have a relationship with you. A very close relationship. A face-to-face relationship. Like two close friends. He wants you to talk to him, and He wants to respond to you and, as He says in Jeremiah 33:3 (TNIV), " ... tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

There is no relationship here on Earth that can match a friendship with God. He is waiting to speak to you, friend-to-friend. Are you pursuing this friendship with Him?
