This I will never understand

I lift up my eyes
Looking for help. Looking for love, for life.
Could it be that the maker of heaven and earth wants to be my help?
Wants to reach out his hand to my helpless state?
Why?
Why would the king of the universe want to be by keeper?
Why would he offer to be the shade at my right hand?
My reprieve from the scorching of life?
Why would he offer to preserve me from evil?
Preserve my wayward soul?
How can such a powerful & wise creator want anything to do with my wandering and wanting soul?
Want to know me?
Want to love me?
Want to show me?
This I will never understand.
And for this I am relieved, for an understandable God is just a god.
