Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. Proverbs 13:24 (NLT).
Like medicine when discipline is being administered it’s bitter and painful but it later produces healing and wholeness. Discipline is love caring enough to say no to what hampers, hinders and hurts your beloved. Godly discipline is for the purpose of getting us fit to share and walk in God’s holiness or wholeness – Hebrews 12:10.Godly discipline results in a peaceful harvest of right living – Hebrews 12:11. Discipline gets rid of the weak, shaky, unsteady inconsistent childish ways and builds a strong, mature, firm, grip on life – Hebrews 12:12. Discipline marks out a straight path for healing, growth and strength – Hebrews 12:13. Godly discipline prepares and fits us to live in peace and harmony with everyone Hebrews 12:14
