It is strange that some have portrayed God as a strict disciplinarian or a stern judge. Surely they know Him not nor have felt His infinite Grace and Love. Were He to stop loving then creation itself would collapse.
Were He to punish then it would be like punishing Himself, for when we suffer it is He who takes this suffering upon Himself.
That is why a God lover can never have any ill will for anyone – he knows that it is his Beloved on whom he throws it and adds to His Lover’s burden and work.
