Always Looking On His Smiling Face

Meditate on the truth of His joyful Presence!

Through the ages, believers have used images of nature, classic art, architecture and more to meditate on the creativity and character of God. This practice, called Imago Divina (or Visio Divina) allows the believer to sit with any image and seek to use it as a tool to quiet one’s soul to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice. At His Smiling Face Ministries, we believe that the scriptures reveal a God Who is glad to be with His children and delights in joyful relationship with us. Neuroscience says that the more we give attention to something, the more our thinking patterns change. Why not give regular attention to the joyful Presence of a delighted, prodigally-lavish God Who became flesh and dwelt among us?

In this volume you will find 50 images of a modern-day Jesus interacting with people of all ages, abilities, nationalities, interests, and personalities. We pray that as you use them for Imago Divina, your mind will be renewed day-by-day into a joy-filled, maturing disciple of the Joy of all joys, Who promised that He came as Emmanuel that “His joy might remain” in us and our “joy might be full.” (John 15:11)

This book is intended to be used as a tool in conjunction with Always With Joy and The Joyful Brain by Miriam Rainwater. You can find links to purchase these discipleship resources to support your spiritual journey at hissmilingfaceministries.com.
