What!!

God wants me to realize how bad I am so I need Him more. This is so weird to me but, I want to understand this truth so much more. Realizing how much I need God compels me to know Him more and in knowing Him more I find everything (purpose, who I am, etc...) How funny is this is that realizing how bad I am and in turn cling to God, He then tells me things like 1 Peter 1:9. Crazy!!
