A Father's Love

His love is not a careless love. We have all, more or less, lost sight of the judgment exercised by the Lord in His own house, and it is too frequently supposed that, because the salvation of the saint is a sure thing, God is indifferent about character here. But to love, this is impossible. A child would eventually inherit his father's property, but then what parent would be satisfied, if he loved his child, with knowing that? Would he not anxiously train him up, watching every development of his mind and faculties, and ordering all things in his education so as best to fit him for his future destination? How much more is this the way of God's love with His children!
