What do you feel you personally owe Him/Her? Devotion, love, adoration, respect, or acceptance. Please feel free to elaborate. Thumbs up for all honest answers. No judgment just curiosity,. I see Him as a Father, to Whom I owe my entire life and all my love, respect, and adoration.(Only question for now as I am off to bed. Worked last night.)
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I see GOD as the Creator and all human terms similar to Creator/Distroyer - total all powerful.
As GOD gifted humanity with free will, and won't use force to herd us into line, I see GOD as quite a gambler. I think GOD loves watching the underdog win. The patience of GOD confuses humanity. Tester of souls. Great forgiver of sins (no grudges). Artist, sculptor. Practical joker, quite a sense of humor. Huge shoulder to cry on (knows exactly right words to say), always there on rainy days, but is there on fair weather days too, to share in our joys.
Everything to everyone. Father/Mother & child, old/young, best friend - understands our inner thoughts.

I see the Creator as the intelligent design that causes our reality to be. Newton said the universe was the mind of G-d. In my thoughtful consideration, the universe may be a cell in the mind of G-d with galaxies as the mitochondria. So we are? muons?
From my untaught, experiential belief, I think most of our problems are caused by people thinking they are individuals and that their Creator, if they have one, is an entity separate from themselves. Religion is a useful construct of societies, not the Creator. They can be a fine way to celebrate the Creator however, they tend to divide us.
I cannot imagine how more that one Creator could exist. I once took poor marks for a paper on the Holy Trinity. I see it as a conception to help us understand the incomprehensible nature of G-d. It conceptualizes how She can be everywhere (Holy Spirit) here in a body (Son) and everywhere present (father). We are created likewise with a spirit (the observer), body and a mind that can connect with other minds including the Creator.
I cannot think the Creator has gender-what would be the need! I use "She" because of my life experiences and "It" seems disrespectful. I do not favor the feminine earth goddess over the male sky god. There are many lesser gods and they exist only if they have followers to sustain them. I don't have a concept of what they are, maybe energy constructs or the fallen angels? But they have no power not given them by believers.
I owe all respect, love, devotion, respect etc. to Her and though She has no need of it, I know She is aware of our love reflecting Her love. It is our duty to keep this atom (particle of the Universe) in healthy working order. We show our love and respect to Her by loving and respecting those around us, working for the benefit of all. Think how your body feels when a few cells become deranged and form a tumor. What must be done about it?

I feel I owe Him my life and everything I am. However, we cannot pay the Lord back for all He has done for us. He is my Heavenly Father who numbers the hairs on my head. He delivers His people from the hand of the enemy.The Most High God who has sent His son to pay the price for my filthy sins! His mercy and loving kindness is everlasting! We owe Him praise, respect, adoration, love! He is a multifaceted God of love, justice, mercy, forgiveness, and a trillion other things we may never come to understand! How can we who were lost even fathom all that He paid to redeem us? What love He has for us! What a God of tender mercy yet awe inspiring power! My heart soars with thankfulness for what was done for me!I will praise Him til I die! What an awesome Father and Creator! What a wonderful question, Debra! May the Lord bless you!

I see God as the one who has given everything I have, meaning my abilities and who I am as a person. I owe God my respect, love, and devotion. I show that through prayer, going to Eucharist, and giving of myself and money.

The Trinity
to whom alone is due adoration and to Whom ,along with so many, is due praise, thanks,petition,and requests for forgiveness.
I try to spend the whole day aware of His Presence and providential care.

one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone. He is the true God, and every other deity is false. He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes. No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes.
God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe. He manages all affairs. He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing. In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private. He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen. No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will. Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be. His will is above the will of all the creatures. He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent.

Our creator is truly our Heavenly Father. We owe Him all the the things you named, and so much more. I'm not sure we can vocalize all we truly owe God. He's just that grand.Peace Be With You! Rest Easy In Jesus! Paula

He is Father, Mother, Prophet, Priest, King and Lord. He has lovingly given me this life to do what ever I wish to do with it. And has also offered to make a way to spend life everlasting serving him if I wish†

Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî [1] extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursî ]
