A boy wins a game of hide-and-seek under an old pier-and-beam farmhouse and comes home from deer camp with his eyes swollen shut from poison ivy. He didn’t know any better. The wicked do. Their own iniquities capture them, the cords of their own sin hold them fast, and in the greatness of their folly they go astray. God’s warnings don’t come from a Father who is mean. They come from One who loves you and wants to spare you, and His own heart, the pain.
Scripture: Proverbs 5:22-23
