It is odd, to find myself bossing my children to do something that ought to be pleasing to them.
Go play outside! It's a beautiful day!
Sit still and watch your movie!
Eat your ice cream!
It's not like it does me any good if they eat ice cream. I bought it for them, and I would just like for them to enjoy it. Do they really think they are doing me a favor by giving me an extra bit of freezer space?
It is also odd, receive that kind of bossing. From God's Word, no less. Here I am treated like the child that I am, and I too find myself commanded to do things that are good for me.
Rest!
Receive!
Rejoice!
Give thanks!
As human beings, we are good at turning gifts into duties.
What a crazy thing to do.
