04/07/17 DON'T PULL THAT...

Adult, to child with a loaded gun: "Don't pull that trigger, don't pull that..." BANG

COMMENT #1
This is what it is like to counsel people who will not yield to authority. They refuse to listen, they refuse to obey God's warning and reproof and directives. They persist in self destruction, they leave a trail of disaster.

COMMENT #2
Same child responding to the adult.
"You don't want me to have any fun."
"I can make my own choices."
"You never let me do what I want to do."

COMMENT #3
The child wants the adult's help.
The child wants the adult's respect.
The child wants the adult's encouragement.
The child wants the adult's praise.
The child wants to be an adult.
The child wants the adult's counsel... as long as it is what the child wants to hear.

COMMENT #4
BANG... followed by floods of tears.
