So do I "fear" God? in the sense that I know that I am his child and that every breath I take depends on his grace, yes.
Am I afraid of Him? No, because I understand that He has only good things in mind for one of his favorite girls! (tic)
Even though I may not always His Good gifts as being good, He is sovereign. He is not hiding behind a bush waiting to pounce if I mess up, He loves me and wants to guide me in the paths of righteousness-- not beat me into submission
