Its for your own good. ( Proverbs 14 v 12 )

Growing up is hard, as a child becomes a teenager,and they start asserting themselves, and it becomes more challenging for parents. Often the teenager does not like being told,its for their own good,as the parent curtails certain activities .The child thinks  they know best and resents being told by the parent that they know best ,they do not appreciate that their parent has walked the same path that they are on,and know the pitfalls of life,and the fact is ,they actually do know whats best. In Deuteronomy 10 v 13,the children of Israel are told that the commandments that God commands them  to obey,are for their own good .There is a lady I know who left the church she attended because she said,' what right has the preacher to tell her what to do', of course the preacher was only preaching  Gods word.When God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of  the knowledge of good and evil,it was for their own good,remember if anyone knows whats good for us it is God.
