How dearly You love us! You created us not because You needed to. You didn't even gain leisure by creating us to praise You because You are wholly perfect; nothing could possibly be added to You Who are. You are everything infinitely, perfectly, lacking nothing. You made us because You knew we would delight in You and fall head-over-heels in love with the Lord of all creation. "He knew there were lesser beings capable of enjoying Him and He made them." - Frank Sheed, Theology and Sanity. How pure and completely selfless is the love of our God! =) And the more we draw near to Him, the more we will fulfill our purpose as His creatures; to bring Him praise, glory and honor.
This God (Who doesn't need us and could stop existence at any instant) loves us and wants us to delight in Him so much that He sent Jesus Christ to us! Wow, just wow. He sent us a Redeemer - He wants us to delight in Him that much. My God...I am astounded, amazed, left speechless by You!
Do not try to hide your failings, short comings and struggles from Him. Admit that you are infinitely less but know that: "He made things He knew. He did not get to know the things He made." - St. Augustine. He already knows you fully! Past, present and future. Hiding your soul only blackens and darkens the soul. Expose yourself to the One who knows you entirely; by bringing your sins to the Light, is the only way to be cleansed and renewed. It also glorifies Him by fully trusting in His love and mercy.
