I'm sure you've heard kids say something like, “Mom, you ALWAYS say no…” or maybe it’s your teen who says, “You ALWAYS think I'm doing wrong…” But what do we realize about both of these situations? ALWAYS doesn’t really mean all the time because I know that my mom didn’t ALWAYS say no to me when I asked for something and that is only my personal experience. I can imagine that you could testify something similar in this scenario. #Bible #Biblestudy #God #truth #newblogpost #goodreads #amreading

How many times in our lives do we use the word always but really only mean sometimes?

I’m sure you have heard kids say something like, “Mom, you ALWAYS say no when I ask…” or maybe it’s your teen who says, “You ALWAYS think I am doing wrong…” I am sure there are other situations that you can fill in these scenarios with. But what do we realize about both of these situations? ALWAYS doesn’t really mean all the time because I know that my mom didn’t ALWAYS say no to me when I asked for something and that is only my personal experience. I can imagine that you could testify something similar in this scenario.

The beautiful truth is that when it comes to our heavenly Father whatever He says He really means that to the complete sense of the word. Always means always every single time when it comes to our God.
