God is always moving toward us, drawing us. God wants to reveal himself and engage us. We come to understand this towardness of God in Christ, who shows in his life, passion , death and rising that God indeed wants to give himself away to us always.
And so we must understand that if we desire union with God in Christ, he wants it more than we do. We may be afraid of making a wrong move. But God is for us, he wants us to love and choose rightly in freedom and joy, empowered by his love. God has made us for himself; he wants our flourishing, our freedom and happiness. God very desperately wants to be with us. His very powerful compassion envelops and embraces us, and so we are able to be unafraid.
