Most of can say that we were never afraid of
being punished unfairly, but were afraid of getting what we deserved---and
that healthy fear keep us out of a lot of trouble. God, our Father,
cares for us in the same way. There are certain things we simply
don't do because we have a fear of His loving discipline.
God always loves us and He's always ready to
forgive and to restore us to fellowship if we humble ourselves.
But there are still those natural consequences we have to live with,
and perhaps, sometimes, direct action from God. We all would like
to avoid the discipline from our Heavenly Father just like we did
from our earthly father.
