Questions for personal reflection or group discussion
1. How would you describe your relationship with God at present? e.g. Do you see him and interact with him more as your boss, master, lover, friend, or father etc? What would you like your relationship to be like?
2. Recall a time when God showed you, he loved you, either through his actions or what he shared with you.
3. What is God showing you or wanting to reveal to you about his nature and character in the season you are walking in? If you are not sure, ask Him and trust Him to tell you.
