I agree He is strict. It is that whole "demands of justice" thing, though, not just because he wants to be. He could have been much less strict and let us stay eternally with Him in our pre-mortal state, but we wanted so too be like Him, and this life (and the consequent strictness) is the results. He has to stick by His word.

disobedience. He loves us far beyond our own comprehension. What you
perceive as meanness on His part is either the consequences of disobedient actions of yours or those around you, or else is challenges He has given you for your own benefit. These latter are for your benefit and improvement and are given to you out of the Purest Love, not from meanness. If you really feel the way you wrote, I feel truly sorry for you.

Ok, Scott-- I stand corrected. I should have used the word, STRICT. Does that sound better? I think Father in Heaven is very loving but he is also strict.
