Hebrews 12:8 If you are not disciplined – and everyone undergoes discipline – then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
When was the last time your parents disciplined you in some way? It may be quite a while from my point of view, but I know my parents always wanted me to do what was right.
When I stepped out of line, they would try and get me back in line sooner rather than later – this often meant some sort of disciplining.
God is no different. When we step out of line, He does what is required to get us back in line and to do what is righteous.
He does this because of His great love for us.
