Deuteronomy 7:7-9 - The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Most of us grew up hearing the deacons say "Our Father, who aaaaart, innnn, Heavun."
But we probably never internalized that phrase because of being used to hearing that same prayer every Sunday.
God loves us like a father. If we were to establish within ourselves the extent to which God loves us, we would be free to love Him back and to live our lives without self-imposed limits. And we might not ask Him for stuff all the time like we probably do.
I don't know about you, but seeing His love for me is a big blessing.
