I was a bit trouble-prone as a young boy. Like the time in my bedroom when I nailed my blankets and sheets to my dresser, the walls, and anything that would hold a nail. It was the most awesome tent ever. Then, several years later, there was the New Years Eve when I blew up the neighbor’s mailbox with a barrel bomb. It was so cool how all the rivets blew out, but the swollen shell still stood on the post. Though my mom was always disappointed and usually angry about my fun-filled pranks, I never doubted her love for me.
The most loving parents feel love for their child no matter what. Such is God’s love for His children. “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1)

This post reminded me of my five year old son! Gods unconditional love is an awesome reminder to keep me in check at the most frustrating of times!

So very true. All the things, mistakes, sins of our past; forgiven. We are a ‘new creature’ in Christ today and have the opportunity to affect change in a way that can impact and influence positive things into one’s life.
