Discipline For A Greater Good
Hey y'all! It's been awhile! Because it's been awhile, I'm warning you. THIS IS A LONG POST. But super excited to be back! I know you all had to have noticed the big D word in the title. DISCIPLINE. Almost instantly the first word in the title of this post makes some people cringe, like it did to me when I first heard it. DISCIPLINE??? But I thought I was doing okay. I mean I've not been a troublemaker or anything. We automatically associate discipline with punishment. Probably because that's the way the world perceives it. But we all know the "world's ways" are always completely different than God's ways. God associates discipline with love. BECAUSE He loves us...He disciplines. He wants us to be like Him. Perfected for the day of Christ's return. His spotless bride. However, we all still cringe when we hear the word because of how uncomfortable it is. And it hurts. I've been at my job for the past 2 years. At first, it was so great...
