We need to be open to seeing God as he actually is, not as who we think, or who we fear he is. I can tell you he is certainly not an authoritarian "Bow Down Before Me" God. Love does not demand such things. So don't be angry with him, or afraid of him. Just open your heart to him, and you will connect with his divine heart. Only then will you see and feel how beautiful he really is. How truly loving and caring he is. How devoted to us he is. How very much like us, he is.
So what does God desire from us? Most of all, he loves our deep appreciation of what he has created. You would never call God 'insecure', but he really, really does like to hear that we are happy with what he has created here. He REALLY, REALLY does. It actually makes God happy. So when we thank god, and feel genuine gratitude in our heart, its a confirmation to him that he did a good job in creating everything. He is not arrogant, he doesn't expect us the be thankful. He hopes we will, because that means our hearts are happy, and that is what he desires most. Let me re-iterate that. What god desires most is that our hearts are happy, joyful, free and full of love and gratitude.
