This is actually a wonderful question to ask, since it is a perfect question to ask God, as you build a relationship with Him.
There's a wonderful Lenten retreat, called
Glimpses Along the Way of the Cross, that explores this very topic. When his students discussed this very same question, Bishop Shea says,* "the death of Christ on the cross, is the most tender and eloquent invitation possible to friendship with Him. There's no coercion, no guilt, no force. His hands are nailed to the cross. There's not even the force of argument - just His eyes, looking at us. And we find ourselves wanting Him in our lives."*
May God bless you on your journey. Never stop seeking Him.
