DEAR grandpa was very fond of his grandchildren, and was faithful in telling them wherein they had failed, but it was always done with kind and gentle words. His grandchildren would not run away from him, but often just hang their heads with shame, and love him all the more for correcting them.
Love is a strong power and there has been no love like the love of God. He is not One who passes over evil. He hates sin but loves the sinner, so He gave His only begotten Son to die for us poor sinners, rather than have us bear the awful judgment which we deserved. Is not this enough to make us pay attention to all He has told us, and seek to please Him in all our ways? It surely is.
