SPOILED CHILD OF GOD
Have you ever noticed a parent spoiling his child by allowing him to freely roam, disobey, be out late at night without accountability, talk back to him, etc? At times, parents are fearful of losing their child’s love if they restrict their activity or don’t give in to their wants.
Just like a spoiled child who rebels against his parents and/or quits loving them because he didn’t get his way, we often quit on the Lord, throw in the towel because we don’t like the difficult circumstances God has allowed to come into our life.
