No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?—You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.—“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.” Exodus 33:18 (Listen) 18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” (ESV) Psalm 27:8 (Listen) 8 You have said, “Seek1 my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”2 Footnotes [1] 27:8 The command (seek) is addressed to more than one person [2] 27:8 The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain (ESV) Psalm 42:2 (Listen) 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
