As a father myself looking upon my own, I am challenged as to the many choices I have regarding sending my children down the right path.
I could FORCE them; I could TRICK them; I could LIE to them…
All these methods might work in very restricted situations, such as immense time pressure or danger. However they ALL have negative repercussions.
Or I could TEACH them.
In order to TEACH them the good ways…
They MUST be DRAWN into the truth.
This is done with BAIT of various kinds.
This method is the least fraught with negative problems in the future… but it is surely the SLOWEST.
Are we to be patient? Who said this?
Are we not all God’s children? Does he not want the best for us?
Having the right to choose IS the most honor and respect. Sometimes we will choose incorrectly. Sometimes we will sin.
Isn’t this part of the package of having choices?
I accept in and cherish it.
Your words are good anon. I believe you
