Lord! Show me why you matter to me!
The Lord literally shouted back in a mighty way.
Exodus 34:6-7
"The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands of generations, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
In God's words this is His glory, His significance to us, His weightiness... A question that shouts form this passage is how can He both love and forgive unfailingly AND be ultimately just, never excusing the guilty?
Jesus was the only way. Our Advocate Priest who promises that not one whom the Father gives to Him will EVER be snatched out of His hands (John 10:25-30, beware of the warning in Matthew 25:31-46!) and who He will lead until we are all face to face with Him to the end of the age.
