In other words, he ignores bad behaviour and waits for you to wake up and receive His love.
Thing is though, if he is this kind old Santa Claus, that overlooks bad behaviour, we are bound to take advantage of it.
"Ho ho ho humble. What would you like for Christmas? You aren't on my naughty list. 'cause I don't have one."
It's great to be forgiven. Start back from square one. Wipe the slate clean.
Like a giant ATM love machine. Just go there when youve run out of self love.
So ok ...you mean it's a relationship? I have to contribute? Oh I thought God was the giver, and Me the receiver. Looks like I have to contribute something. You want effort? Sheesh. I was hoping you didn't say that.
 
:lol Too true Humble.
If you don't dust the house it won't be clean.
If you don't keep up with the gardening the weeds will take over.
If you don't talk to your friends they will become like strangers and say " I don't know you."

So we had better roll up our sleeves and love God with all our hearts and each other too. Then we will feel the joy.

Roll up my sleeves and do good works. And earn my way to Heaven.
 
So God says
" If you keep my commandments, I will reward you big time. Especially number 11. Dont get caught doing the first 10."
 
That won't save us in itself, we have to keep our faith alive though, and faith without works is dead. We are saved by Grace but it doesn't stop there.
Like you said it is a two way street. Thank you for that reminder. I have to start work on myself.
Would you like me to advise on some areas you could improve on Tessa?
 
Remember you have to fo it shoeing love. I won't be offended.
Ok . Well I think you are a good role model on here. Above all you are a good listener and you take a genuine interest in people.
Ok I would say one area you find challenging is playing bad cop. I am not good at bad cop either. My wife is better suited to it. Glory is not afraid to play bad cop on here. She's a natural and I respect her for it.
 
In fact bad cop is the hardest role for all of us...being assertive, finding the right words.....it's so easy to find the wrong words. To upset people.

Should I be a bad cop? What is a bad cop? Is it ok to be a good cop?
 
Tessa I don't know much about you either.
Did you enjoy raising your kids? Were they ever difficult?
 
Now you are personalising. I actually meant me. I find the wrong words often. Looks like I am upsetting you too. Sorry.
No you are not upsetting me Humble. You have been very gracious to me.
I know what you mean by finding the right words. I often think if the right words when it's too late to use them.

I think you show wisdom by not saying anything sometimes. You do that well.
