Exodus 33:11
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

In Romans 5 we have the explanation of what God has done for US, to give US the same thing Moses has with God, explained in the above verse. Note:
Romans 5:1-3
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
Paul says in this passage that we have “... obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand ...”. Notice what he goes on to say at the end of this chapter in Romans:
Romans 5:10-11
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Moses talked face to face with God. As a result this is what happened:
Exodus 34:29-30
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
When we have spent time with God because we have obtained access and have been reconciled to God we ought to have a face that is different than those around us. We ought to make our mark in the work place because we have been reconciled and can see the face of God via the Spirit of God who dwells within us.
