God is awesome. God knows you. God loves you. Coming to grip with these three facts is the basis of our relationship with the Most High. Reading the Bible and praying daily are important ways to develop your relationship with him over time.

Revelation 4:1-11 God is awesome. We must begin here. God is not the old man in the sky nor is he a vending machine. He is the mighty creator of heaven and earth who receives worship from heavenly creatures. He is “Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come”

Matthew 10:29-31 God is neither unaware nor aloof of what is going on in your life. Even minutiae like the death of a sparrow or losing a single hair are known to him.

Psalm 139:1-12 There is nowhere we can go where Yahweh’s presence is absent. He searches you and knows you: how you sit, how you stand, and how you think. He is acquainted with all your ways.

1 John 3:1 Like a good father, God loves you. He sees us as his children.

1 John 4:7-12 God is love. He revealed that love to us in sending his only son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. When you really come to know God, you experience his love and express that to him and others.

1 John 4:16-19 Love-based relationships are the most powerful. Fear will motivate you only so far. But perfect love casts out fear.
