How GOD Corrects HIS Children

Hello! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first this Sunday:

THE GOOD NEWS (30 October 2016)
"For the entire world lies before YOU, just enough to tip the scales, a drop of morning dew falling on the ground.
But because YOU are almighty, YOU are  merciful to all; YOU overlook sins and give YOUR children time to repent.  YOU love everything that exists and hate nothing that YOU have made; had YOU hated anything, YOU would not have formed it.
How could anything endure if YOU did not will it?  And how could anything last that YOU had not willed?  YOU have compassion on all because all is YOURS, O LORD, lover of life.
In fact YOUR immortal spirit is in all.  And so by degrees YOU correct those who sin,  YOU admonish them, reminding them how they have strayed so that turning away from evil they may trust in YOU, LORD." - Wisdom 11:22-12:2 
(YOU ordered all with measure, number and weight.  Because GOD's power is absolute, it is never a manifestation of violence; beauty, harmony and goodness are never lacking in all that comes from GOD.

The passage from 11:5 to 15:19 is a long parenthesis contrasting GOD's ways, as a friend and master of humans with the foolishness in the worship of idols.)
