Hebrews 12 says Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you
as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Have you ever viewed discipline as a treat?
It really is.
When we treat our children to discipline we are, in effect,
saving their lives. What a treat.
When we receive and welcome and endure discipline from God,
when he grabs us by the neck and keeps us from running off a cliff, he is
saving our lives.
Earthly discipline from our fathers sometimes is performed in
anger, and doesn’t produce anything good, and in fact leaves scars.
However, God is not like our early fathers. All discipline and reproof is given in love
to correct us and mold us into his image to where we can experience a full life
where we are known and loved and accepted.
Allow God’s discipline, then respond, and be treated to His love.
