This was pretty much the conversation. So, my point of view was and is that you can feel incredibly wrong and bad about what you did. You can even feel embarrassed and sick at your stomach, yet, God doesn't give the impression of anger about it. At least, He has never made me feel that way. So, really, it's hard for me to imagine it.
When my father would correct us, He never made you feel like he didn't love you. Now, my mother is another story. LOL! My mother's discipline is what the young man was trying to convey to me about God. Just can't see it. I told him I think his feelings about his wrong is what made him feel that God had dealt with him so harshly. He said, "Maybe so."
