Why is it?

Why is it you sing to Me? Why is it you pray to Me? Why is it you seek Me and ask of Me? Can you tell Me? Why is it? Is it because you desire Me? Is it out of sheer love for Me? Is it because you long to know Me as I know you? Tell Me, why? Why is it? For lo, many come and sing out of ritual or obligation. Many pray and seek Me to get something from Me. Others do to make them feel better about themselves. I tell you this, they have their reward. I desire you to come to Me, to know Me. I say, seek Me first. Love Me for who I am. As you do, watch as I pour out upon you all I am and all I have. For I came to restore you unto Me sayeth the Mighty Lord of hosts.
