Coloring Life

This afternoon I heard a father get on his son: "You're not doing a good job! I told you: if you're not going to stay in the lines, you just don't color." How harsh is that?! I mean, we're not talking about a ten-year-old or anything; this kid probably wasn't more than six.
You know, we all go out of the lines sometimes in life, don't we? We slip, we trip, we mess up, and we go out of the lines. Don't know about you, but I sure am glad God doesn't treat me the way that father did his son. The Bible tells us that God knows that we are but flesh. And still He died to erase all of our outside-the-lines coloring! How awesome is our God!
