day no. 14,488: children of God but in the world

Psalm 79
When God's children begin acting like the world around them, their loving Father will often bring swift discipline. When they find themselves devastated and humbled, they turn back to Him. But what is the expectation that He will receive them back? Why when we have acted just like those on whom destruction awaits should we be treated any differently? The difference is one of enemy and friend, stranger and child. God disciplines the children in whom He delights and they, though they wander, are welcomed back when they repent. God often works wonders in order to win them back to Himself.
