This morning I was pondering
the view point of 
Discipline.
seen in the relationship
of 
Parent
and
Child.
Parent wants the child to grow up
to be
healthy
safe
responsible
prosperous
contributors and blessers
and so does the child....
But the child is lacking
vital information
and skills
so the parent employs
EDUCATION
including
Consequences
and
sometimes
Pain / Reward relationship
AND
sometimes the parent makes
Mistakes
or
Loses their
Cool.... :(
But 
if the perspective
of the
INTENT of the Parent
is lost....
Then All is 
lost....
Heb 12:10  Our fathers disciplined 
us for a little while 
as they thought best; 
but God disciplines us for our good, 
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.
Lord,
I often think
as a child.
I don't like
discipline....
But I love the 
fruit of discipline...
I submit to You
knowing Your desire
for me is
not Just Good
but
Amazing Good
Profound Satisfaction
Wondrous Joy.....
I keep that
Perspective
in mind
today....
and listen
and obey
Knowing You
Love me.
Thank You.
