Once, in my early days as a Christian, I used to believe that God had saved me, which was wonderful, but for all that he’d done for me, I don’t think I really loved him. I was grateful to him but I didn’t really find him attractive. I didn’t want to be with him. And then I saw things like Jesus saying, “Father, I’ve given them the glory that you’ve given me.” And I saw, here’s a God who finds his glory in giving, in going out. He’s not a selfish God who hoards his life. He’s all about giving it away, as he shows on the cross, that supreme moment of glorification. And so I saw, here’s a God who’s so generous, so kind, to me as a sinner, that I saw—he’s offering more than salvation. He’s offering himself. And with such a kind God, I want him.
