Raising Children In God's Will (112) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
1. The Heart of Parents' Love - 2
When a child commits a crime and goes to jail, the parents would not say, "Thank God he went there," but shed tears, forgive him and love him. That is the love of the parents. That is why parents' love is noble.
Do you understand? If the son was given the death sentence and it was time for him to die, and if the mother knew all this, she would wail.
If there is any way to save her son, she would try it, she would give up her life for him. Since they have this everlasting love, the love of parents is noble.
Is there, in the hearts of parents, the heart to forgive the son who is going to be hanged? If that mother's love is true, do you think God's love would be no better than that, or better?
We instantly admit that God's love is far better. That is shy it is a natural conclusion that God's love surpasses parents' love. (91-148)
