This morning as I was meditating on my children and the glory of God, I thought I understand my youngest girl behavior better.<\/p>\n

Yesterday she behaved very badly. She threw tantrum, demanding her ways, and the scariest is being unpredictable. In one moment, she was a very sweet girl, and the next instant, she could scream and yell, insisting her will.<\/p>\n

I remembered what I read about the description of Trump. He was described as impulsive and unpredictable. For a moment, I thought my girl more like daughter of Trump than daughter of mine.<\/p>\n

Until I realized that it’s actually a universal heredity. I do also being unpredictable and insisting on my will at times. It is more natural to be unpredictable than predictable, because we want to get what we want. And what we want is always changing. We don’t wake up each day and say I want to do God’s will. We pray that our will be done.<\/p>\n

So, this little girl is showing nature of sin which we all share. She wants her things, and it is and it will always be changing. May God have mercy on her and me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
