Compassion -VS- God’s Will

Compassion -VS- God’s Will – If God is compassionate, shouldn’t we show compassion?  Well, not always.  Trace Embry explains today on License to Parent.

While in the pursuit of being a grace-filled and compassionate parent, it’s easy to exercise a compassion that is totally incompatible with the compassion of God. Remember what Jesus said to Peter when he told Jesus that he would fight to protect Him from going to the cross? Jesus told Peter, “Get behind me Satan, you’re a stumbling block to me, you don’t have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” Well how often does our well intention compassion toward our kids actually cheat them from God’s best? We aren’t willing to allow our kids to endure struggle, even the short-term struggle that would lead to spiritual health and maturity in the long run. When you think about it, unmerited compassion toward our kids might just mean unconscious rebellion toward God.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
