The question
How do I fear God? I mean I fear my parents' anger. I fear turning my back on their commands. I fear disappointing their love. But do I fear the nature of God? How can I let go of my grip and ask God, do you still love me even when I am angry toward You?
Please, answer me. I keep reaching out to our fellow leaders. Yes, I ask God. But most of my will is spent on not knowing what to ask, and how to listen. The Word of God burns my bush.
