It is good to fear God and even to tell Him so.
As a father pities His children, so God pities those who fear Him.
"As compassionate as a father is toward his children, so compassionate is Jehovah toward those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." (Psalm 103:13,14)
No, this is not just learn as rote dogma. It is personal experience. It is always good to be completely honest with God.
I have both told God that I didn't fear Him at times, therefore many of my persistent failures.
And I have also told Him that I DID fear Him at other times.
It is good to be HONEST with God about your feelings.
And there is a time, I think, to admit that you have some fear of Him.
Are you kidding? God can fine tune your circumstances to bring out for you to see what is really in your heart more than anyone else alive.
But I have always cherished this passage -
"For He knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust." .

Funny things have been occurring lately. I think someone may be trying to hack into my sessions.
@sonship saidSatan is perhaps trying to block your gospel message?

I know you don't take the New Testament seriously. You don't have to make a wise crack to hint at it.
@sonship saidWhy?!

@Ghost-of-a-Duke
funny things I said have been happening. And I said "may be".
No need to make it a major topic of discussion.
I could be wrong about the mischief.
In the US millions of confidential records have been hacked into related to the Capital One Bank. You can't fault a guy for being vigilant about this.
I was a programmer once. I know knowledgeable hackers can mess with code.
@sonship saidI'm trying to get to the bottom of your paranoia.

@sonship saidWhat would be the incentive for anyone to hack 'your' account?
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
I'm trying to get to the bottom of your paranoia.
Which you ASSUME I have.
Howevr, YOU are not sitting here day by day witnessing the unusual things that have been going on.
And once again, I said "may be" and "I could be wrong."
You want to get to the root of your accusation, that's all.
As a non-subscriber, you have divulged no financial data here or anything of any use to anybody. I can only assume you believe you are more important than you actually are.
@sonship saidAre you trying to play some sort of victim card?
