| this hurts me more that it does you |

did your parents ever tell you that as a kid? mine did...right before the whipping...my daddy said it everytime and each time in my mind (because I was smart) I rolled my eyes to myself and thought yeah sure it does
now as a parent I know that its true. disciplining our children can be hard at times. for different reasons. I think God might feel the same way. But like us and our own children He disciplines us for oue own good, our well being.
I am thankful that my parents were mindful enough to correct me when I needed it. God convicts me now, and i am even more grateful, yes it hurts sometimes, but being uncomfortable is a good thing isnt it?
12:11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. |
