Heart's Cry began as my attempt to unmask. A simple proclamation for a new way of thinking and being.
We can have a great family and be a socially functioning & contributing member of society and yet not be known.
We can go our places of worship, stand and sit appropriately and do the work and ritual of worship without being known or knowing.
We can be within and still outside. Standing on the outside always looking in.
And yet God in His grace revealed Himself to us. He wanted us to Know Him in order to have a personal and authentic relationship with Him. A real knowing...without hoops or strings. Simple. But hard.
I'm
stunned by God's Grace in His revelation. Without Him inspiring His
written Word to us~to make Himself known~to us we could not know Him.
"The
absolutely and eternally self-conscious God took the initiative to make
himself known to His creation. God's revelation of himself was a
deliberate self-disclosure. No one forced God to unmask himself; no one
discovered Him by accident."
"By
one's own searching, apart from what God has revealed, nothing could be
known about God and His will, not even His existence!"
"God's purpose in revelation is that we may know him personally as He is." John Higgins
