      If he made us then why wouldn’t he want us to believe in ourselves?

      As a parent, nothing makes me prouder then when my daughter looks inside instead of at me for the solution to something.

        Because we keep harming ourselves. If your daughter started to engage in harmful behaviour, wouldn’t you want her to listen to you and stop? I am sure God is proud when we do good and shun evil, and make beautiful things. But He isn’t when we sin.

          I’m all ears if God decides to come down and tell me what I’m doing is wrong. Until then, I’m gonna keep doing it.
