A new way to view "Thou shall not commit Adultry"

This paragraph in my daily devotional email struck me:

>>Once I found a brightly colored little bird nestled in the grass of our backyard that looked like someone's pet. When my son borrowed a cage from a neighbor, the little bird hopped in, jumped on the perch, and started swinging away. He didn't see the bars of that cage as a prison that kept him in, but as walls of protection that kept predators out.

In the same way, we can either look at God's commandments as constraining, or we can see them for what they really are: a barrier of protection. <<

That is some good food for thought. I never read it that way either. Thanks for sharing.
