Does God Punish His Children?
“Does God punish?” is not a simple question to answer. There is some thinking that needs to happen before we can get to an answer. Children Of God third day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6jO7xhU_Pw Does God Punish His Children? “As a Christian, when you experience a painful event like an illness or a rebellious child or a broken marriage or a financial hardship or persecution, do you ever wonder if God is punishing you for some sin you committed?” https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/when-it-feels-like-god-is-punishing-you ’’ Jon Bloom Today we are going to seek an answer to the question: “Does God Punish His Children?” “Does God punish?” is not a simple question to answer.

I'm sure the Holy Spirit could give us the words to say, and if the man didn't stop, at least the lady would know she was not alone. It would have been a kindness to everyone on the bus. There are so many opportunities right now for kindness. People who never would have talking to each other, strangers, are passing on tips and advice. Praise God for multiple chances to be God's ambassadors.
