FATHER
Illustration★★★★When a father overheard one of
his sons say, “If you do that, father
won’t love you,” he approached his
children with these words: “I shall always love you. When you do what is
right, I love you with a glad heart, and
when you do what is wrong, I still love
you, but with a heart full of sorrow.”
The point
A father assures his children that he always loves them—with glad heart when they do right, with sorrowful heart when wrong.
