GOD'S KIDS

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to the Creator's kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to them was: "Don't."

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve! We got Forbidden Fruit!"

"No way!"

"Yes, WAY!"

"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.

"Why?"

"Because I'm your Creator and I said so!" said God, wondering why He hadn't stopped after making the elephants.

A few minutes later God saw the kids having an apple break and was angry. "Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" the first Parent wanted to know.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?"

"I dunno," Eve answered.

"She started it!" Adam said.

"Did Not!"

"Did SO!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set, and it has never changed.

But there is a reassurance in this story. If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give your offspring wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be too hard on yourself. After all, if God ran into trouble handling children, what makes you think it should be a piece of cake for you?

Today's Faith 'n Truth-Builder
"...building up yourselves on your most holy faith... (Jude 20)."

TO BE A MAN When you can dream beyond today and trust beyond your doubts; When you can face your greatest fears and disallow them to control you; When you can rise above the many trials that come to those who dare to make their life worthwhile; When you can keep on getting up each time you've failed or fallen or been knocked down; When you can walk through the fires of criticism, and disregard the jibes of jealous lesser men; When you can see your greatest strength lies in your faith and gentleness and your greatest courage in admitting your faults, and with God's help strive to overcome them; When you can take responsibility for resolving all your hurts and break the chain from generations past; When you can know a father's love and feel with all your heart; and When you can love yourself, others and God more than earthly gain or fame and recognition, you will, my son, be then a man -- and indeed a great man at that. -- Dick Innes - Copyright 2001 Dick Innes - ACTS International
