You're right - God doesn't need us to DO anything. Who are we to think that our faults, failures or imperfections can stop His will. I think you're on to something - that God values our honesty and "realness" far more than strength, the right answer, being put together etc. True growth can only happen when we lose ourselves and come before Him and others in weakness, dependence and humility. That's how children approach, and that's how we can draw near without any fear of condemnation. Thanks! John, as much as I dislike this song (i.e. whining), I’m really encouraged by this post.
