Correcting Is Loving

The task of correcting our children is not easy, but it is our responsibility. Sometimes we do not correct them to avoid them getting angry with us and to make them feel that "we love them". But that's being irresponsible parents, who bring up children who do not assume their obligations and do not submit to authority. We must not fall into the other extreme, to correct our children embarrassing them or hitting them, making them feel that they are not loved or valued, destroying their self-esteem. We received the responsibility of being parents, directly God who is Father of all of us and entrusts us "His Children" for a short period of time. He is the only role model that we have to be good parents. As Father, God is just, but His outstanding characteristic is love and He does everything led by His Love. He cares for us and protects us despite our disobedience. He knows our personal needs and has a training plan for each of us, not the same plan for everyone. To teach us, God corrects and disciplines us when we do something wrong, but also helps us in love to get up when we fall. It is often said that no one teaches us to be parents, but that's not true, God has taught us by his example, since we were born. Follow wisely the example of God as Father and do not be guided by your own emotions.
