Wherever the term 'face' is used in the Word, it always corresponds to mind and its affections since those form the basis of our identity. Light in the Word always corresponds to some kind of Truth. Thus to seek His "face" is to seek His Divine Truth and God's strength is in His Truth.

I agree with what you said. Would you say seeing the "identity" linked to God is due to it being from God's essence (an emanation from him)? What else does Bible say about this?

Would you say "all good actions" are features of this face, the inward reality of it, every time we do good acts, we are somewhat guided by them, and illuminated by them, hence, they are aspects of his face?
