01/13/12 The Power of Love.
Ever notice how a child will obey someone because of love, even when they are not motivated by either punishment or privilege?
Yes, we should still reprove and/or reward them, but when they have love for us, it is stronger than discipline. We cannot make them love, but we can provide an atmosphere where love lives. Love comes more easily to a child. Don't miss that window of opportunity, and don't beat yourself up if they abandon that love as they get older.
And see, this is true in the believer's life also. If we love Him, we keep His commandments, love is the fulfilling of the law.
