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.
^Bingo.
Was trying to figure out how to put that into words and then saw Chad had beat me to it perfectly.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
