When do you want your discipline?
When do you want your correction?
When will you allow yourself to be humbled?
No matter how much I love my son, feed him, support him, encourage him, kiss him, hug him, play with him… when it comes time for correction, he always hates correction. Every time. As soon as I correct him he immediately forgets all the other good things I’ve done. Why? Because he’s a child.
What’s really sad is when grownups act the same way. Children always hate correction, but its a part of real love. Love is being faithful to the covenant. Emotions are up and down but Love is Steady. Mature people realize that love is not only emotion, but faithfulness.
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
