God is our protector, leader, and Father. While the best place to start is asking what our relationship to God is, I think it’s important to recognize that many times we do not ask this question and instead we get distracted by the world around us, which tells us all of these different stories and encourages us to buy into the narratives it spins about who we are. BUT. In order to know who we are, we have to know who HE is. Our right response to God is to worship Him. He created us in His image, so we are naturally community oriented. He has invited us into a personal relationship with Him.
