God's Chisel
God not my will, but yours be done. Many times we get angry with God for allowing things to happen in our lives. We think He doesn't understands, He doesn't care, He is too busy to bother.
But the bible clearly shows to us God as a loving, unfailing, faithful Father. Who cares for His children. As a Father, when you see your child hurting it breaks your heart too. As a Father, when you discipline your child, it hurts you more than your child.
Only an unloving father would close his eyes and allow his child to make silly mistakes and not discipline him and teach him the right way. Yes, the Father that we serve will discipline us. But only because He loves us and wants us to live a victorious life.
This same Father catches us when we fall, yes, even thought He'd later give us a few spanks to teach us not to be playful and careless again, but He would also hold us in His arms, and heal our wounds.
