To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are your own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, students you can relate.
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to his Own children.
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam & Eve. The very first thing he said was, "DON'T"
"Don't what?" Adam asked
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we have forbidden fruit!
"No way!"
Yes way!
"DO NOT eat the fruit!" said God
"Why?
"Because I'm your Father and I said so!" God replied (wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.)
A few minutes later, God saw his children having an apple break and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you NOT to eat the fruit? God, as our first parent asked.
"uh huh, " Adam replied
"Then why did you?" said the Father
"I don't know, said Eve
"She started it!"
"Did not!"
Did too"
Did Not"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed!
So don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
