Heartcry of the Father

Throughout scripture we hear and we see the heartcry of the Father in such a tremendous way that it is impossible to miss it. God has always desired to commune and fellowship with man right from the beginning of creation. When He said in Gen 1:26, that "Let us make man in our own image and in our likeness," it was because He wanted to be able to see Himself in man so that He can relate with him. God is Holy and so He created man in the same way, holy and righteous. God was able to commune and fellowship with man just as He had planned from the start, but man was too covetuous and self-centered. All man wanted was to satisfy his greed and so man willingly sinned against God. It was rebellion as well that caused man to fall. He wanted to have his own way and so he had to go against the way of the Lord. So man was sent away from the presence of God, but after a while the Lord still wanted man back so he found a permanent way out, He sent His only Son to come and pay for man's sins with His life.
He wants to be more than just a maker to us, He wants to be a Father to  us, providing and caring for our every need. He wants to be our lover, loving and sharing the most intimate time with us. You only share very intimate moments with the one you love, but man's lust for the world has made him a prostitute. Moving from one lover to the other. Today man's devotion and attention is with God, tomorrow it's with the world; fashion,money,fame, sex, etc.

Man does not know what he wants, because he is lost he moves from one place to the other seeking refuge and finding none. Sin has made us wanderers like it did to Cain in Gen 4:12.

But we serve a living God. He is the bread of life (John 6:35) with him we will never hunger, yet man's greed has made him so restless and that his wretched soul wanders the filth of this world in search for that which satisfies and yet finds not, for he searches in the wrong places. He is the streams of Living Waters in whom man will never thirst (Jere 2:13) and (John7:38) yet again man prefers to entangle himself with what destroys him than with what keeps and sustains him.

He who has made our lives beautiful is beckoning for us to return unto Him. He is holy and as made us as such. He has made us priests, He calls us a perculiar nation because though we live in this world with all its rot and filth we are not of it and must not live like they do because as He is so are we here in this world (1John 4:17).

We must and should live a life that tells where we come from (Lev 11:44)
Here are a few scriptures that shows us the heartcry of our God calling unto us to return to Him, to repent from our sins. Matt 3:2, Luke 12:3, Acts3:19, Acts 17:30, Rev 2:16, Rev 3:19, Jere 26:13, Jere 42:10, Joel2:12, Ezek 14:6, Ezek 18:30.

God bless you.
