"Discipline is NOT Fun!!” - Proverbs 3:11-12 & Hebrews 12:5-6

We have this amazing tendency of taking all the credit, for all of the good things in our life.

But, God knows our inner-most thoughts, and He loves us enough to pull us into a truer, deeper and fundamentally more rewarding relationship with Him.

And do you want know how He does it?

Pain!

Pain is how He reaches AND teaches us.

Pain is the greatest teacher, and unfortunately, the more stubborn we are, the more pain we get the honor of experiencing.

If you are going through some stuff right now, if the pain is getting real, and you love the Lord and you are on your knees, know that He loves you, and that He is going to use these experiences, to teach us the deep truths about ourselves.

And I pray that whatever lessons that need to be learned, you or me, we get the opportunity to learn those lessons, quickly, and get through the pain fast.

AMEN!
