God did not create us primarily to accomplish things for Him. He is more than capable of doing everything and anything He desires by Himself, except to have a loving, intimate relationship with us. He wants our hearts and our trust, not just our service. He wants the undiluted truth of our personality, not sterile ritualism. He wants to be our heart’s desire as we are His. He wants our confidence, not just our conformity.
So, fully surrender whatever is going on in your heart to Him, whether it be joy or sorrow, excitement or anxiety, love or fear. Trust Him to use that energy to skillfully craft a more precious relationship with Him. What God wants most from each of us is always available for us to give: ourselves just as we are at the moment.
