Sacred Echo: Listening to Heaven’s Heartbeat

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I went to bed last night asking God to show me more of His heart. I know I say I want to know Him more, but how often do I really press in for His sake, not just for what He can do for me?

This morning, while journaling, I wrote:


“God, I want to know You—not just know about You. I want to understand what breaks Your heart and what makes You smile.”

It hit me hard: I say I love Him, but how often do I actually seek to understand Him, not just myself through Him?

Most people walk around so desperate to be seen, known, and loved. I get it. I’ve been there. I still have those days. But then I remember—this ache to be known is actually something we inherited from God Himself.

Genesis 1:27 reminds me, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

If I bear His image, then it makes sense that the ache in me to be known is actually a glimpse into how God longs to be known.
I’m created with that desire because He has it first.

Sometimes I look around at Christians and ponder… how are we so satisfied with just Sunday morning services, small groups, and bumper-sticker theology?

We memorize verses like Isaiah 55:9—“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts”—and then use that as an excuse to not even try to know God’s heart.

But that’s lazy. And let’s be honest, it’s prideful. Because we want a god that fits in a sermon series or a devotional plan. But the real God? He’s infinite. And if we don’t dig deeper, we’ll stay infants in our faith, knowing about Him but never knowing Him.

I’ve been praying over Jeremiah 29:13 lately.
“You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.”

It doesn’t say, “when you scroll Christian TikTok for an hour” or “when you listen to worship music passively.” It says, “with all your heart.”

ALL. Not a part. Not when it’s convenient.
That one verse alone has been wrecking me.

So today I turned off my phone. Sat with my Bible. Prayed in honesty. Not performance. Not pretty words. Just raw. Just real. Just me.

I told God, “I want to know Your heart. I want to know what makes You weep and what makes You rejoice. I want to love what You love and hate what You hate—even when it costs me popularity, even when it separates me from shallow Christianity.”

And He met me. Not in thunder or lightning. Just in quiet. In peace.

I read about Jesus weeping at Lazarus’ tomb—not because He was powerless, but because He feels deeply. He didn’t rush past the pain. He sat in it. That’s the heart of God.

I read about the woman at the well. About Peter’s restoration. About God’s justice in the prophets. About His mercy in the Psalms.

And slowly, I started to feel like I wasn’t just reading about God—I was sitting with Him. Like a friend. Like someone worth knowing deeply.

If we want to know God’s heart, we have to move past religion and step into relationship.

Yes, God is holy. Yes, His thoughts are higher. But He’s also Emmanuel. God with us. He stepped down to make Himself knowable. Jesus came not just to save us, but to show us what the Father is like.

John 14:9—“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

So if I want to know the heart of God, I need to look at Jesus. His compassion. His fire. His correction. His mercy. His truth.

And if I’m not willing to carry all of that—not just the feel-good parts—then do I really want to know Him? Or do I just want a version of Him that fits my comfort?

Tonight, I’m ending with a prayer:

Father, reveal Your heart to me. Not the filtered version. Not the Instagram caption version. I want the real You. The One who weeps over sin, who rejoices in truth, who loves with fire in His eyes and scars in His hands. Teach me to walk with You, not ahead or behind, but right beside You. I don’t just want Your blessings. I want Your heart. I want to be a woman who makes Heaven smile. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  4. This really spoke to me. I’ve been exploring out more about God as loving Father and I agree that we often neglect the simple ‘being’ with God in the quiet just absorbing him, his power, beauty and compassion.Thank you.

  5. This is a really wonderful post, well written, and so very correct in so many ways. You recognize a true God and a false god. Beyond this you recognize there are many different “versions of God”. You understand there is a “religious” false god, and a “real” true God. For me I fully understood these things through the writings of A.W. Tozer. He said that people make their own idol who says what they want him to say, and who does what they want him to do. The idol they make is made in THEIR OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS (not the other way around), and then they call their idol “Jesus”. I admire your fiery zeal and desire to know the true God, and to see what is truly going on today, accepting none of it, and searching for the truth. Keep up the search with a whole heart. Because you are doing these things in such a fervent fashion, Is it any wonder the demons have been attacking you so fiercely lately? You have become dangerous to them. They do not want the truth that you speak, and the truth you search for to be sent out to other people. This is the reason why you have been singled out, and fiercely attacked by a whole gang of demons. Keep up the good work! You are making marvelous progress. I am very proud of you. Don’t stop, and don’t quit. Don’t even slow down. Keep going full speed ahead. The demonic attacks mean that you are very close to breakthroughs with Father God. This is why they attack you. “Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. Tell the devils daily to “LEAVE YOU ALONE IN JESUS’ NAME” Keep up the excellent work and forward progress. My prayers are with you.

      1. Ok I see the question mark. You are obviously just like me in being observant, curious, intuitive, and unafraid to ask even if it is by a question mark only. I didn’t miss it. Since Father God took away the blindness from my spiritual eyes, ears, and heart, approximately 30 years ago; I have believed differently from every other person I have come across. I knew modern church doctrine and Christian living was all wrong. Yet at the beginning I didn’t have any answers. Thus started a 30 year quest to find the truth whatever it was. It was an extremely lonely 30 years, me being different from all other people. Me not being able to tell these things to people because they could not understand them. I told parts of it to many thousands of people over the years, but none of them could ever understand what I said. It was a hell on earth experience during 30 long years. I lost hope of ever finding anyone like me until the Tribulation begins. That begins the greatest move of God in all history and about 1 billion people being woke up spiritually to inhabit and populate heaven. For this reason I have never re-posted someone else’s blog post. I didn’t fully agree with what anyone taught whether written or spoken. Then this post written by you reveals the same heart hunger i have had, the same burning zeal to know God, and to learn the truth no matter where it led me. You are being called by Father God as he is now waking you up. You are exactly what I did not expect to find in the pre-tribulation time period. Yet here you are, and I can’t believe it yet for the joy that is inside of me. Another of my own kind is coming into being and I get to observe it through your blog posts. I am amazed fully, completely, and totally. You are paying the ultimate price required to have this happen to you. It is the requirements that King Jesus Christ commanded of all who will be his disciple. Even to “Unless you hate your own life also, you cannot be my disciple”. This is required for a true new birth literally with proof in an abundance of good fruit that remains. Anyways this is the answer I give for the question that you asked of me.
