Your Behavior tells it all

Good morning sorry I haven't been on in a minute . I pray everything is well with you all. I have been spending time with my siblings and studying the word/praying and mentoring for the last couple of days. I encountered something on last friday , that brought about the title of this blog , so here goes . I have a five year old son . He is very smart . He is very challenging at times . Well friday was one of those days. Mark-elliott came home with a red mark on his progress report . This is not good . Red , Yellow or Orange are bad marks , whereas green is a good mark . I asked my son why did he get a red mark he told me because I wasn't listening . I then asked him why wasn't you listening he tells me I don' t know . Now I know you'll Know that was not the right answer . I mean this just made my blood boil ,so I spanked him and punished him for the entire weekend. I do not get enjoyment from spanking him and it breaks my heart , furthermore I was very disappointed in him because I am not raising him to be disrespectful because you know what he does at school or anywhere else reflects me and to be honest I don't play that . Guess what that's how God feels when we constantly get into things we know we shouldn' t . Doing things we know we shouldn't be doing . Just as the world system has rules and there are consequences for breaking those rules , the kingdom of God works the same way . You can't do whatever you think your big and bad enough to do . There are consequences . The father will chastise you . You know what I like about God though when you belong to him he will bring you in one way or the other , so what marks are you making ? Is it a red , yellow or an orange? I pray it is a green . I know that on this christian journey we wont always make good marks but it's your intent , your will , your desire to want to do the right thing . God knows your heart and if the desire is there he will cause your desire to become like his desire . I like this blog alot and I hope you do all of us can relate . Either you have kids or maybe your helping to raise a child . Disciplining a child comes with the territory so remember that when the father begins to discipline you, strive for excellence remember your behavior tells it all Love you'll have a blessed day.
