Warnings Are A Kindness Born Out Of Love!

There are all kinds of warnings. There are the warnings we give as parents. “Don’t touch that, it’s hot.” “Don’t cross the street, without looking both ways for a car”. Don’t go out without a coat and mittens, you will be cold”. Because we love our children; we give them all kinds of warnings.

And that is what God does. He loves us so much! He wants us to be well, happy and safe. And so when He sees that we are headed for a fall; He warns us of the consequences of that fall-just as we warn our children.

But He is always with us and He always loves us. Just as we love our child, when they refuse to listen to us and hurt themselves! Our hearts hurt for our child when they hurt themselves, and we are there to comfort them. But no matter how much we love our children, they are sometimes going to hurt themselves and all we can do is comfort them and love them. As much as we love them, if they don’t listen, they are sometimes going to face the consequences for their actions.

The same if true of our Father. He warns us. One reason He gave us the Holy Bible is so that we would know the very best way to live. And He gave it to us so we could avoid facing the consequences of refusing to listen.

Sometimes we listen. Sometimes we don’t. And when we don’t, we may face the consequences. But God will always love us and be with us, always and forever. 🙂
