Discipline!

Hebrews 12:7-11
v7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
v8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
v9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!
v10 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.
v11 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.

This few verses already explains itself. We go through many different things, especially hardship, so that we can be disciplined. God is training us to be a better person. If you have not gone through any suffering before, you are NOT God's children. However, everyone does. So we are ALL His children! Praise God! Pain and sufferings will not be comfortable and it will not be fun. It will hurt a lot! However, the reward is righteousness and peace. Do you want to have it? I do!

God bless!
