Exactly this! When you understand this, it makes the story of Jesus so much sweeter. I feel like so many Christians don't get this until they become serious in their faith. Took me decades and I feel like I have just scratched the surface.
Amen. I've loved the LORD every since I could remember. I've forgotten that many times and tried to walk my own path. Then I got serious in 1994. I knew God was trying to lead me. The trials of life didn't get easier but I knew that they had a purpose. I just trusted the LORD. It was awesome to see how God would turn situations around. But I was still holding back. A few weeks ago, I turned everything over to the LORD, everything. And now the Holy Spirit is asking me to do things that are not in my tool set. I'm 60 and I feel like I have just begun.
