God loves you. but He is not your buddy. It has become easier and easier for us to view God through the lense of friendship - which is a great thing as He is the truest friend we will ever have. At the same time, Ecclesiastes 5: 1 - 7 warns us that He is not like us. He is not on the same level as we are, He is so much above us, in every way, that the only rational response to knowing Him is a response of humble gratitude. Not exactly the number 1 attribute in our society.
