The good news is that we are God children. We are the son and daughter of the King. God loves you and I. We are cleansed and purify by the blood of Jesus every moment but God will discipline us when he think it is the right time to do so. Let's look at
Hebrews12:5-6 "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines only those he LOVES, and he punishes everyone as a son.
God is treating us as his true son. Hebrews12:8 If you are not disciplined( and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not TRUE sons. In verse 10, it shows us that God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. As human, we dun like discipline. We wan to fly, we wan our way. Discipline is painful, dun seems pleasant. We simply dun love discipline. We wan God give our 1 million dollars now for instance. Yes, God can give it to us instantly. But how will we use the money? Without discipline in money, these 1 million will be gone in a moment. So what makes God hold it when his desire is to bless? Love. God loves us, he have to train us, discipline us in money. He will give us the money in part. For instance, he will gives us 100 dollars. Then God see, ok, u noe hw to use 100 dollars in a good way. Nxt time, he give us 200 dollars. God will double it whenever he knows that we have the discipline to use the money properly, use it for good. Each time the discipline is inflicted, we becomes stronger and wiser.
Let us run with perseverance to the race marked out for us. Fix your eyes on him. In the future or later on after the discipline, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Rejoice!! for you are God true child.
