We can only meet God when we come to Him as who we are. That's the power of realising that we are 'sinners', or that we're lacking something substantial which we could never make up for on our own. When we realise this deep truth we are able to meet God for the first time and in doing this we also meet our own selves.
We must always resist the temptation to try and 'be holy' for God. He doesn't want us to strive to make ourselves holy people as in doing that we will simply seperate ourselves from Him. HE wants to make US holy. It's his job in us, not ours. It's not about attacking ourselves either. We need to see our faults and accept them so that He can come and change them.
We meet God at the place where all striving ceases and we can simply be ourselves. Nothing more and nothing less will do.
