Why does God, want to know me?

What is this place, earth, what was meant to be a blessing and a wonderful place to live,

Gen 1:31
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

but due to our sin, turned out to be a place of toil, death, and pain.

Gen 3:16

16To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; (O) in pain you shall bring forth children.(P) Your desire shall be for[f] your husband, and he shall(Q) rule over you."
17And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree(R) of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,'(S) cursed is the ground because of you; (T) in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.19By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread,till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken;(U) for you are dust, and(V) to dust you shall return."
Thankfully he didn’t leave us there! Although due to our choice to sin He would be justified in doing so. Yet, because He wants to be with us; wants us to be with Him, more than we can imagine wanting anything in this world. He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not(D) perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Why? (As I scratch my head) and then after some time, as my brain begins to smoke, because the equation does not compute… I realize, I don’t care WHY! We don’t deserve a relationship with him, yet
“6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8
So we could be justified in his sacrifice… The bridge that was destroyed by SIN, (which = separation from our loving creator) has been rebuilt by a master carpenter. Why he wants to know us doesn’t matter. Who cares why this amazing God wants to know me, or you? THE GREAT NEWS IS!!! He does, and, he has demonstrated this countless times throughout history, and to this day continues (through his holy spirit) to show me his love. Though I don’t measure up, (See Exodus 20:1-17) He wants to walk with me, and talk with me, and He wants me, to spend time with Him.
What a mystery this place called earth… Well enough time spent writing this, I have a God that wants me to notice him! See you all later.
