Grace for your spirit November 18, 2008

For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives. Hebrew 12:6

God’s love is not always a soft, fuzzy, pampering pillow for us to rest on. Like any good parent, love sometimes must discipline, and chasten us back into the right paths. Every child knows that discipline for the moment seems to be sorrowful, but later the results are wonderful. When mom comes in and puts medicine on our wound, it stings and it smells bad. We think, this can’t be good for us. Don’t wash it off, because when it sinks in, we will enjoy the results. May we never judge God’s love by the surface application. Let’s judge it by what it accomplishes in our life.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
