Hello friends, its good to know you are able to join me on this platform again despite my long absence. I sure missed you. Please enjoy this new post- a lesson from my baby(2).
I recently learnt something new from my son who just keeps maturing daily and has something new on his sleeves. He has come to the awareness that someone isn't pleased with him when he does somethings and he stylishly tries to manipulate the situation. Notable moments are when he throws things away and smash them on the floor and a few other naughty things that could be picked up as habits.
It becomes difficult to spank him because he isn't well aware of some of the wrongs but he also can't have his way with wrong doings always. I decide to be firm on my decisions when cautioning him and sometimes have to tap him with my finger to show his action is totally naughty and not accepted. He cries and drops tears at any of these instances because he knows he has just been stopped from having a self gratification.
The learning point for me is that he comes back to me(or anyone who disciplined him) almost immediately for some kind of mediation. He just needs to hear "stop crying dear, don't do that again" and taken it further with "give me a hug". With the reconciliation process completed, the relationship continues like nothing happened or even closer because he's on my laps and resting on my chest most times following a request that he should be carried.
Most times we run from God when we have committed some atrocities or when we are committed to a sin or weakness when we ought to go back to God, ask for forgiveness and let Him embrace us in comfort and lead us on in the right path.
Hebrews 12v6 says "For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child." - this goes to say that God's love does not exclude us from a training in righteousness and a punishment to get us on track. He is very interested in every area of our lives and wants to "mess" it up so that it can be well cultured and fitting for a purposed life in God.
The major lesson to learn from my baby is to be well assured of your father's (God) love for you and He will always interfere in your life for your own good. You should also consciously run back to Him when you have wronged him or miss the mark (deliberately or otherwise). He remains the loving father whom you can trust even in shame and despair.
Keep trusting and fall into the arms of love.
Thank you for reading and for being patient. I thrust you are doing great and making gains in every area of your life. Keep your head high.
