How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?

About This Quote

How can they meet us face to face till we have faces? How can we meet them face to face until we have faces? Face is something you look at and see. You can see a person’s expression but you don’t know what they are really feeling, as the expression is only for you to see. Until we have faces, we can’t meet them face to face.
