In all honesty, going in to Passion 2010, I did not understand a lot about God. And for the most part, I was ok with that. I don't like to get into the details of things. I feel like the details make everything so complicated. It is amazing to finally have my eyes opened to my God. I realized that I had become comfortable in the unknown. I believe that God has blessed me with that gift, but not when it comes to knowing HIM. I was getting things confused. I was keeping myself at a safe distance by not digging for the details, but I was totally in the wrong. Our Creator, our Heavenly Father, wants to be known - bottom line. We are to do EVERYTHING to make HIM famous! I never grasped that on a personal level. I never connected that I was not seeking Him first. I was actually being very, very selfish. I mean, my actions were saying, "Hey God. I'm going to read right quick.. get what I NEED out of this and I'll catch you later." I have been humbled greatly. Yeah, I loved the Lord before, but only because it was convenient to me. I didn't glorify the Lord who placed himself at the most humble position just to experience what I go through daily, but perfectly. And, even though HE DID NOT SIN he died on the cross FOR MY SINS!! Wow. Why do I not want to know God on a deeper level? He didn't die on the cross because it was convenient. He died on the cross because He loves. He died on the cross because he sacrifices. He died on the cross because He is to be glorified!
The words to this song never meant more to me than they do now. I love my Father!
