”… if we think of God as our Father, we know that no good earthly father would deliberately seduce his child into sin, by trying to make him or her fall. However, every good father will deliberately allow his child to enter situations in life in which the child must make moral choices. We realize that sending a child to school or into the community, at the proper age, is good for a child because it matures him or her. Likewise, God grows us up by allowing certain experiences (including temptations) to assail us, though He Himself only gives "good gifts" to His children.”
