I am not a perfect son—not a good son either—but I can prove to you my love for my parents. Saying that I am a good son will require me to shiver and shake as if it is a hideous lie. How can I say that I am good or perfect son if can’t even obey simple orders given by my parents. The guilt really stabbed be right in to my bones.
Many sons and daughters are experiencing such situation. Most of the youth love their parents, yes, even those who are tagged to be rebellious. But it is not really enough. I have read a quote from a book I have read. It says: “Better is an obedient son than a loving one… A loving son can wind his arms around your neck and his words around your heart and then go off and do things you’ve forbidden him to do.”
Truly, it is easy to say I love you but it’s hard to obey with a whole heart. Synonymous, we can say that we love God, our Father in Heaven, but we easily break His statutes.
I can’t turn myself perfect. Even though guilt chokes me, obeying some rules still burdens me. Well, trust will do the trick. I, we, must trust the Father of all creations.
