11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Hebrews 12:10-11 (NIV:
10 They [our human fathers] disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Alex Wu took an HD look at GOD’s love today as it is demonstrated by His discipline. Just as parents imperfectly discipline children, GOD perfectly disciplines us for our own good. While discipline is more than punishment, that is the most difficult facet for us to identify and appreciate. Sometimes we are honestly confused when times are painful and it is at these times that we have to believe that GOD’s will is perfect and have faith.
