Discipline
Discipline is considered troublesome, exasperating, and unnecessary. We want freedom and no direction because it might conflict with what we want to do.
God disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight. Why?
He is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested. He wants to move us closer to Him!
Proverbs 3 : 11-12
My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
