Life free from correction!

No one likes to be corrected! Let's accept that fact. Ego has a lot to be blamed for this. There are a lot of folks out there who believe that no one can correct them. They believe that when they are right, they are right and when they are wrong, they are still right. 

They are intolerable towards corrections from anyone. They never want to be told they made a mistake. It's foolish! A person that cannot be corrected cannot be assisted. We have to understand that no human being is above mistakes. We are meant to be above sin by God's mercies but not mistakes.

Especially, when it comes to children, when they are warned of a particular thing they are involved in, they would never want to accept it until they try for themselves. They are OK to get hurt miserably as a result of their behavior, action or relationship, but they simply can’t take the warnings and corrections.

Have you noticed why this happens? The Bible talks about a character named Paul who very logically and practically explain this problem and it goes like this, “For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one that does it, but is the sin that lives in me.”. The moral values and ethical values have deteriorated alarmingly even among children in today’s age.

The problem of evil is far beyond one's imagination. If we follow the news, we find young children who murder, rape, rob and involved in all sorts of heinous crimes. How do you think one can live a correction free life and be able to say “no” to the allurements and persuasion for doing wrong? The answer is, you need a God who demonstrated doing right and who lived a holy life. The word holiness is not affiliated with any particular religion. We are all supposed to model a morally right life for our kids to follow and then our corrections and warnings will be readily acceptable for our children and friends.
