The story is told that after Helen Keller’s teacher,

Anne Sullivan, had given her

the names of physical objects in sign language,

Miss Sullivan attempted to explain God

and tapped out the symbols for the name "God."

Much to Miss Sullivan’s surprise,

Helen spelled back,

"Thank you for telling me God’s name, Teacher,

for he has touched me many times before."

How could Helen Keller have known about God?

It was because although she was blind, deaf and mute,

Helen Keller knew God,

for God had shown Himself to her.

That is “revelation.”

God Has Revealed Himself to Us.
