My daughter has taken to telling my husband and I that, "that's not sweet," when we take something from her she wants and thinks she should have or require her to do something (like go to bed) that she does not want to do. We tell her it is because we love her and it is our responsibility to love her that we do these things. We tell her that we know what she needs and that even though she doesn't like it, this is what's going to happen for her own benefit. In my heart, and occasionally out loud, I say the same thing to God - "Don't you know that's not sweet, I know what's good for me and you're taking it from me, or you won't give it to me." How infinitely greater is God's love for me and His wisdom to know how to care for me.
