My lack of understanding who You truly are will distance me and lead me to sin and rebellion. I can approach boldly. Because of the thorns, the nails, the Blood. The veil has been torn, from top to bottom. I think of the woman who anointed You and kissed Your feet...the woman who bled for over a decade...the Roman centurion with a dying servant...bold, blind Bartimaeus. You did not cast me away--even when I thought I could approach You in my own righteousness. Your Spirit led me to Truth. Though I was wrong, you answered my knocking. You saved me. So I come. I approach. I worship You in Spirit and Truth.
