mind boggling

I was reading over I Cor. 1:4-9 not too long ago, and it struck me, I've been thinking about it since.
here's the text:
"I can never stop thanking God for all the generous gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus. He has enriched your church with the gifts of eloquence and every kind of knowledge. This shows that what I told you about Christ is true. Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you strong right up to the end, and he will keep you free from all blame on the great day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

I love passages like this where God is the protagonist - He's the one who has enriched the church with gifts, He is the one who will keep us strong to the end, He is the one that will keep us free from blame, and the best of all, He is the one who invited us into friendship with Jesus.
He's got the best of everything, he's the only one with anything to offer, and yet he pursues us endlessly. How does it work that we run away from all that? How can I ignore this God, shun his invitations to spend time together? Is it just because it takes so much effort? Or is there something even darker and more depraved in my heart that won't allow it?

"Search me O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path to everlasting life."
