correction without harm

Have I not promised that nothing shall by any means harm you? Yet you encounter unpleasant things in life. Do you see this as a contradiction? Good parents take seriously the responsibility to protect their children and are diligent to keep them from danger. Yet wise parents also realize that growing up involves some hard lessons. You don’t always get your own way. Parents can train their children by exposing them to the consequences of bad choices yet without putting them in real danger. Am I not a good Father? How much more than earthly parents will I train my children in righteousness yet at the same time protect them from real harm?
